I'm an every other week sheet washer so, according to this article I am something of a slob. But hey, I'm clean, I shower every day, wear clean clothes, but all for naught. I'm a slob I guess.

Whadyya think, folks?

1. I think I need a maid....

[intrepidity]

2. In this drought?

Hah! I wish! One of life's simplest, greatest pleasures for me is cleeeeeeeeen sheets!

[dameatball]

3. Hard to say. I may just spend more overall time in my recliner and I have never changed the leather

4. When you live alone....

and you are a guy.....

you wash 'em when they really need washing.

[ret5hd]

19. So...uhhhmmm...twice daily???

[OAITW r.2.0]

20. That ain't happening.

[ret5hd]

22. Well, many years single (not now though)...

and a lifetime being male…I know how often the sheets NEEDED changing and I know how often they actually GOT changed…BUT I was giving you the courtesy of imagining you were a much neater person than me.

Instead, I am confronted with the reality that yup…we’re all the same.

23. LOL....

Been "unconnected" for a couple of years now. Hell, at my age, masturbation is too much work.

5. For me it's largely dependent on how much sex I'm having in them

Every 10-14 days with no sex.

More often when there's more sex.

8. That made me chuckle.

I remember those days.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

12. It seems like a simple calculus

[PJMcK]

24. Daily changes

If it’s different partners.

Otherwise once a week.

[a kennedy]

6. I must be a slob, I'm every other week as well.

[Deuxcents]

7. Geezzz..wash em once a week

No pets, no eating in bed. My kitty is not gonna like that n my snacks are now out. Welll..I do wash em every week but my kitty will be welcomed at snack time. Guess I’m a slob, too

[kimbutgar]

9. I'm with you every other week

Unless one of us is sick then I change the sheets while the other is sick.

[Sanity Claws]

10. Once a week

I thought that was pretty average. I guess not.

[Lochloosa]

11. When I hear "help me change the sheets".

[Hugh_Lebowski]

13. That's a good answer ;) (nt)

[demtenjeep]

14. every week

and we take our comforter to the cleaners every 6 months


but our fur baby sleeps on our bed

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. Every week.

I also take a shower every day, and put on clean clothes every day. Apparently a lot of people don't do that. Yuck.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

28. Hey, we got a mega-drought going on down here, don't judge!

These days I shower most days but not all. And I'll wear clothes 2-3 times between washes.

But I also work from home, and I'm not a sweaty person by nature. I really don't 'get dirty' all that often. Or if I do, it's the kind of dirty where you shower ... first.

I try to balance my cleanliness with the ongoing water crisis

[LuckyCharms]

16. You're supposed to change them?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

25. Well, at least wash them from time to time, even if they're the same set

Some people have multiple sets from what I understand, thus they can be 'changed'.

[LuckyCharms]

27. This is why I love DU!

I just thought you put them on the bed and leave them there.

This all makes sense now!

Makes mental note "Either change or wash bed linens".

[Hugh_Lebowski]

29. You know I live to serve ;) (nt)

[spooky3]

17. An article that relies on "beauty specialists" and

Marketing writers rather than scientific evidence? No thanks.

[CTyankee]

18. Oh, I didn't see that but I'm not surprised...

[OAITW r.2.0]

21. The next change will be back to flannel sheets....and the electric blanket soon to follow....

[Luciferous]

26. I change them every week.
