    Weekly for both. We live in the tropics, love sex so wash sheets often; shower daily but use same towel all week.

    Why would I change either?

    I mean, I’m a hoopy frood, So I know where my towel is, and it’s full of all kinds of nutrients due to the competing microbes that compose its flora. You don’t just waste that kind of ecosystem by changing towels every decade.

    And sheets? What about the memories? Every stain is a mark of something wonderful that happened. Except the ones that are marks of something horrific that happened. Or the ones that are just spilled beverages. But, you know, that’s still plenty of good memories you want washed down the drain, you animal you.

      Best be careful when changing sheets anyway. It’d be a shame if your mattress wasn’t properly killed before being shipped from Sqornshellous Zeta and it went on a flollop rampage after being exposed to too much sunlight.

          Douglas Adams / Hitchhikers guide references.

          HIGHLY recommended.

          Edit: you might also be having a stroke, but that’s just a coincidence. Coincidences can be frightening things.

    We usually change the bedding weekly, I.e. every Sunday and the towels usually as soon as they start to develop this old wet umbrella stench, which takes about 3-4 days.

      Oh my god, that smell is mildew. If your towels are kept so humid that they’re mildewing the colliform bacteria in your bathroom is having an entire festival on there. Please, before you get a horrible infection, please start swapping them out more frequently. I’m begging you, rubbing that on even a small open wound could be legitimately life threatening (for example if you’re the lucky winner of E.Coli roulette, which is also absolutely growing on your towels).

        Unfortunately the towels don’t dry very well on the towel rack. But don’t worry. We don’t use stinky towels. They get thrown on 90°C washing immediately 😅

      I momentarily misread that as “depression fart” and was expecting a different reason for changing sheets.

    Mattress, about five years. Towels, every decade or so.

    Just keep the ones you have clean with regular washing, and they don’t wear out that fast.

    I use a towel once before i wash it. I dry my bootyhole with it im not gonna reuse that and rub it on my face no matter how thoroughly ive scrubbed it. All you need is 7 cheap towels and do laundry once a week.

    Bedding depends, but on average like every 2-3 weeks.

    I just do it when I do laundry which is when I run out of shirts for work.

    Somewhere between 2 and 6 weeks.
