[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is repulsive to many but we don't change the sheets weekly. Maybe monthly. Maybe. So far nothing awful has happened. Also we really only do the bathrooms when company is coming over, or when it actually looks dirty. If there's that pinkish scum, it's time for a wipe. If it still looks ok, it's ok. [/quote] Same, we have done this for years. My kids shower plenty, wear clean clothes, and don't stink. I know when they do stink, so I'm not just immune to their smell. [b]If you shower daily, sheets don't get that dirty.[/b][/quote] https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/ss/slideshow-dirty-sheets-skin-problems Dead skin cells, sweat, saliva, and more can turn your comfy bed into a petri dish for germs to grow. For instance, lab tests found that swabs from pillowcases unwashed for a week harbored 17,000 times more colonies of bacteria than samples taken from a toilet seat. You shed 500 million skin cells a day. Many slough off while you roll around in bed. All those dead cells pile up on your sheets in between washings. Tiny dust mites love to feed on the shed cells. The critters and their droppings can trigger allergies, asthma, and cause your itchy eczema to flare. If you’re allergic to dust mites, wash bedding every week in hot water.[/quote]
