Lots of oxygen bleaches may cause fabric to become thin. Fading of colors is caused by bleaching agents and optical brighteners (check your detergent what it contains)
I dont change once a week. |
I don't change it once a week, but I'm assuming it will be threadbare and faded.
Didn't know that optical brighters cause fading, I thought it was supposed to help with not fading. And yes, I thought that high quality( expensive) linen is supposed to last longer.

If you wanted to keep colors the way they are use laundry detergent for colored items.

I do everyone's once a week. My kids have dust allergies and I just feel better getting into a freshly done bed. I'm also odd in that I enjoy making everyone's beds each morning. Just a two minute touch up to each kid's room and they come home feeling the love ❤️ (or, in my head, that's what it means.). I might be OCD...

IDK why people label ordinary neatness OCD. First of all, OCD is a disorder characterized by ritualized repetitive actions that are an attempt to stave off an unnamed disaster. The sufferer feels that if s/he fails to perform the action in precisely the "right" way, something dreadful is going to happen. Obsessive cleaning can be the activity, but it can be any of an infinite variety of actions unrelated to housekeeping or cleanliness.
Second, making beds every day is ordinary good housekeeping. The fact that many people don't bother with this chore doesn't change that.

You pay for prestigious brands, prestigious designers, prestigious retailers, popularity (remember the law of supply and demand?), shops in high-rent locations, advertising, and more.

Ideally, I try to change every other week. But with no cleaning help and a velcro baby it doesn't always happen.

Our linen is changed once a week. I have a few sets of linen from tj max, ikea, h&m.
My cleaning lady changes the sheets for us, on weeks she isn't here I still change them. Feels gross not to. Especially married couples who are intimate etc.

I do every other week, but when there's a baby in the picture - Ill wash every week. Hosting baby in the bed usually results in some stains and odors...

I choose the 'embarrassed' option because I really don't change unless it gets dirty or starts smelling. Kids that happens more frequently than DH and I. I'm not sure I'm actually embarrassed though...this is the one ball I purposely drop. DH, kids, and I are showered/bathed every day or every other day, we have plenty of fresh clean PJs/clothes, dinner is made every night, snacks and lunches for school, hair is brushed, appts (mostly lol) taken care of...we are perfectly functioning and don't have fresh linen:) I call that a win!
