I grew up on a farm, so it takes A LOT to gross me out.

He's obsessive next to people on the Hoarders!!! Washing a sheet is something they would never think about. One of the hoarders had lost her dentures for five years in the hoard. When the Cleaners found it, she immediately put them in her mouth w/o washing or anything. Now that has to be the most gross thing on the face of the earth.

@febe1

Instead of the "five second rule" it was the five year rule?!

I don't find that unusual at all. Some people don't even use mattress pads or sheets on their beds.

i agree, it is gross, but not uncommon.

@Carmie, that to me is the ultimate in grossness!!

Ever since I was a kid, people sleeping on bare mattresses has always felt disturbing.

Whenever I saw pics of a place where kids had been neglected or abused, or a place where a crime had been committed, there were never any sheets on the beds.

Sorry to go OT, but that really bothers me!

Muddling through...

could you even sleep knowing sheets are nasty.

When I worked, I showered in the morning (washed my hair), then showered mid-day after I ran, and showered at night before bed.

I can assure you my skin is not dry, flaky or shows any negative signs of having been kept clean.

I'll agree that it might be too much for some, but it works for me. I'd rather err on the side of being clean.

Whether you are clean or not, skin cells, etc. still get on your sheets. In the summer, you likely sweat.

Everyone gets to do as they please, and my preference is frequently washing all my bedding.

Last year I had a power outage at my house in the middle of a winter cold spell and I went to a friend's house to spend the night. Her son wasn't home and I was offered his bed.

I suspected his sheets hadn't been changed since somewhere around 2007.

@QueenDanceALot One time we were passing thru on vacation and had planned ahead to stay with someone. They said we could sleep in their son's room. Ok, sounded good. We were met with I don't know how many week old sheets😳 Who does that? I almost had a heart attack! We slept on top of the comforter. Thank goodness I was much younger and not as wigged out as I would be today. (That was back in our drinking days lol, so that helped). If that happened now I'd be off to a hotel!

Good manners dictate that guests be given clean fresh bedding. I always change the bedding between guests. I would never sleep in someone else's used sheets, nor expect anyone to do so at my place.

@Carmie Exactly. That was a first and only lol. I roll out the red carpet for guests and clean sheets are just a given.

Oh, this thread makes me laugh too.

Reminds me of when I was around 9-10. My mother asked one of my friends (genius family, money, lovely people but not much in the way of housekeeping) about cleaning her room and changing her sheets.

She replied to my mother that when she was told to change her bedding, she just turned the sheets inside out. I still laugh when I think about that conversation.
