'Life's too short' according to TV hygiene guru, Aggie Mackenzie..

I just have to... even when busy and tired.. everybody knows what fresh, crisp sheets feel like. I shouldn't enjoy visiting a friend or family and finding unwashed sheets.

I do cut down on the ironing, folding them in four and doing front and back. Don't like them completely unironed.

:-0

I can tell if someone's been between the sheets before me :-(

However, I don't change the sheets between the grandchildren staying - they stay quite regularly, and they slept in the sheets last!!

everybody gets clean sheets here :-D

I have to admit I didn't change the bed after just one night with my daughter in the bed .The next guests were my Sister and BIL.I know they wouldn't mind :-D
Anyone else would have fresh bedding :-D...I think fresh pillowcases are the most important thing.

Ironing sheets? "Life's too short" to iron sheets.

Remember when those brightly coloured nylon sheets came in during the 70's. My Mum thought they were amazing. Definitely didn't need ironing!

Sheets? What are they?

Ironing sheets? Whats the tumble drier for?

I smooth the sheets and lay them flat, that's as good as ironing.

But definitely changes sheets even if someone has only slept on them for one night.

Someone else's sweat? No thanks!

I change the sheets when someone has stayed the night except for when my granddaughter stays and I know she is sleeping again a couple of nights later. I love to get into bed and smell the fresh air on sheets and pillowcases.

I never much fancy breathing into a pillow at an hotel either! Ugh :-0

The worst pillows are those tiny things on planes.

I don't use them, I take a small towel & roll it up, handy for behind the neck.

I can't believe the number of people who put their faces where someone else might have drooled... or worse, sat on it! Ugh.

I love clean sheets. I always take my own pillowcase when I stay in an hotel, and if staying in a rented cottage, take my own sheets to go over what's provided, hoever clean they look.

Joan, I iron the thick flannalette sheets, love them for winter but they are hard work lol

The polycotton sheets get a quick smooth over.

Egyptian cotton sheets in summer. I've never ironed them.

DH's pillowcase gets changed several times a week, cos he sweats so much! Change the pillow protector too, and the pillow gets washed often.

Poly-cotton in winter, don't iron them either.

Neither of us like flannelette sheets... I don't like the feel of them, and DH complains that bits come off and get stuck in his beard, making him look like Santa. We had some flannelette sheets, but donated them to the op shop.

I love flannalette sheets for winter, only a top one next to the duvet, but make sure I get real flannalette and not those brushed cotton ones, that aren't so warm.

I love Egyptian cotton sheets but can't stand them unironed, they have to be really smooth for me but ironing is hard, I struggle with ironing now because of the arthritis in my neck and shoulders along with the fibromyalgia. Standards have definitely slipped since developing that!

Must admit that I don't iron sheets. I use fitted sheets and because we tumble dry them and then they are s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d when fitting them on the mattress, they are OK.

How do you fold them, Barbara! I've never mastered that one :-(

Yes that's definitely a tricky one. Not very neatly at all actually

I put ours on top of the bed folded in half then fold the edges and ends in and continue to fold, comes out quite neatly.

clean sheets yes



ironed NEVER ;-) ;-)
