| Do you change sheets for company? I was getting ready for company. I always pull the sheets on the guest room bed and put fresh sheets. A friend said they don't. I ALWAYS change sheets even if a guest only slept one night.. I would NEVER want to sleep on sheets someone else slept on (except my dh.. or maybe dd) So I asked my friend..how often do you change your sheets?? When I was a kid my mom changed sheets once a week. I saw a news article about how a month is too long.. well , yes duh! Just wondering... oh.. and I CLEAN the bathroom (yes bleach is my friend)

| I always change the sheets. WHen a guest leaves, I put fresh sheets on and the bed is covered with a comforter that's pretty but too stiff to sleep with. When a new guest comes, I pull off the stiff comforter and add soft blankets. If it's been a long time, though, I do wash the sheets again. I usually do our sheets once a week, sometimes 10 days if I'm really lazy When we were battling fleas, all the bedding got washed about 8 times in two weeks

| Once, sometimes twice weekly for my bed and if I have company that's going to stay longer than a week or two, I always let them know I want their sheets too when I strip my bed. I always strip guest sheets after they leave even if they were only slept on once. Doesn't matter. I want to always have crisp clean sheets on the bed for the next guest.

| I would never leave bedding that someone else had used for guest, I would not expect to sleep on sheets that someone had slept on already

| I change them. When they come and when they leave. I think it is the right thing to do. I have my sheets washed weekly. Sunday is sheet day! I guess just habit from my momma!!

| I pull mine once a week and put a clean set on. Usually the same day the dogs get a bath. I'm just not real thrilled with ironing them after they're clean.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Yes I put on clean sheets and change them when they leave. I wash my sheets and bedspread every week with 4 dogs on them.

| I put clean sheets on for guests and wash them once they leave. I also clean my sheets and put on a clean comforter every week. I am like you I clean the bathroom once a week too.

| We don't have people stay the night..... ;-) Actually, if we have over night guests, I take them to our apartment. It has a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living area and is fully stocked. I do that so I don't feel like I have to entertain them while in my home, and they don't have to feel awkward or uneasy. They can have coffee if they want (I don't drink coffee and dont make it). They can stay up late, sleep in, eat in their underwear or take a shower at 3 am and it won't bother anyone in my house. I make sure everything is clean and stocked before they come, and I strip the sheets and towels and wash them and replace them after they leave. It gets cleaned regardless about twice a month, if no one uses it, more often if someone visits and definitely immediately after someone visits.

| I wash the sheets immediately after a guest leaves. ( The guests are usually my grown children.) Since no one goes into the guest room, including the dog, I figure the sheets are ready for the next guest. I suppose if they are left longer than a month, it might be a good idea to wash them again before a guest arrives. I clean all the bathrooms once a week even if there are no guests.

| Yes, honestly I cannot imagine not changing the sheets. I have a cat who thinks the guest room is his so I usually have to vacuum the bed also.

| Do you know if your sheet's have been changed? Back in the 80s when my husband was in the air force I worked in a motel. Did you guy's know they do not change the bedspread's only every 6 month's. That is how they keep them looking new. When we go to a Motel I alway's askfor clean sheet's and change them my self. We take our own comforter along. You can tell when you pull the blanket's back if the sheet's have been changed or not. If they were changed your sheet's should have crease's in them. Where they were folded. That's the first thing we do is check the bed. Just thought i would mention this. |

oh my... now my ocd is kicking in... I will ask for clean sheets from now on!! When my dh had his stem cell transplant I was given a list of things to do for an immune suppress person. It covered food and listed was to change beed sheets at least once a week. I was a little suprised that it had to be listed. After we moved I am using a white bed cover. Not a good idea with three dogs .. I often have to change sheets more often because of the dogs.
