How often should you change your bedsheets?
Fortnightly. Fortnightly. Yes, really. Weekly if it has been warm.
What it actually is, and what shifts it
Sheets are dealing with about eight hours a night of skin, sweat and whatever the pillow has absorbed. Warm weather is why the fortnight becomes a week — the number on this list is a starting point, not a verdict.
Put it on a list that reminds you
“Change the bedsheets”, fortnightly. Tick it when it is done and the next date is counted from that day, not from when it was due.
