When they start to turn yellow

My mom always made me make my bed every morning, and change the sheets once a week. Now I have that as my ideal, but the reality is slightly different! I feel guilty when mom tells me about washing sheets by hand in the creek, hanging them out to dry, and then IRONING them!

I DON'T change them. My husband does; every Saturday. We have a California King also, Kelly, and I can't do it by myself, so he does all the towels and sheets on the weekends, and I do all the clothing, and misc. items during the week.

I change once a week, we do all laundry on Saturday (Weekday it's too much money in electricity, Sunday's I am rather "busy" ya know, occupational hazard)

My question is how often do you do your comforter, or bedspread? and in addition how often do you replace it?

We have two sets of sheets for our bed, and one comforter, we wash the comforter once every 3 months or so (means a trip to the laundrymat to use the BIG machines) but want to replace it. It is 4 years old.

so, 1) how often do you wash the bedspread and 2) when do you replace it?

I do a bunch of sleeping on my sofa and I cover it with a freshly cleaned (plain, light, earthtone, sheet like) comforter once a week...on Saturday.

Actually it looks very nice...not bed like. I have several, as they are not the thick expensive kind and they start to wear after several washings.

Works for me, but, then, I'm alone now.. DH would not have gone for it..LOL!!

My mom would wash mine every 2 weeks. They were always fresh. I just do them monthly now. I don't sweat while I'm sleeping, I usually bathe before bed, so the sheets don't get stinky before I wash them.

Earl, we sleep with a comforter or feather bed as we refer to them in Europe. I've never used a top sheet, so we wash the comforter or feather bed at least once every two months. I suppose one would not need to if one used a top sheet, but since we are sleeping directly below the feather bed (comforter), I feel it needs a washing quite often.

When I think of it, but we also bathe at night so we're squeaky clean at bedtime. If company comes, they get all fresh and clean everything. I change the kitchen towels every day.
