Comforters and curtains

Dar080808

How often do you wash them?  How often do you change them up?  Is it different for different rooms - curtains in the living room vs. bedroom?

I was changing my bedroom stuff over for the colder weather and it got me thinking what do other people do.

Not sure if I am responding wrong or not....usually there is a box at the bottom...not finding it...so I chose reply! 

 Anyway...sheets/comforters usually once a  week.  Curtians...haha...like every other month or so (this is probably way less than I should, but I am lazy when it comes to reaching up and fighting with curtain rods!  Since my living room is curtain free I get to skip that room all together. (We have wooden blind things in there)  Kitchen and other more public areas are done more often than my bedroom since more people see them.  Hope this helps

I change the sheets more often than anything else.  The problem with the comforter is that it doesn't fit in the washing machine.  If I wash it, I have to take it to the laundromat.  Needless to say I don't wash it as often as I should.  Plus the winter comforter is the fake suede and has to be dry cleaned.  

I'm like you with the curtains - not as often as I should I'm sure.

I feel your pain...we used to have a california king size bed  and the comforter would only fit in the washer at the laundromat!  So when we went bed shopping I insisted on down sizing.  My poor husband complains now that I take up too much room though!  I just can't win

So I went to the laundromat and washed the comforter today.  It cost $4.25 just to wash it.  I only dried it for a little while - $1 just for 28 minutes.  It was dry enough to take home and now it's air drying on the rack.  I didn't want to spend my entire morning at that place.  I did think to take my laptop and write up a report while I was there though so it wasn't a complete waste of time.  This is why I like having my machines at the house - I can watch my shows or do something around the house while the machines are running.  Oh and there was this awful cartoon on at the laundromat -  and it was so loud I wanted to scream.  I was glad to get out of there in about an hour.

ktobin - you wash your curtains monthly?  Ummm.....I wash them far from that often.  ::shurg::

I have several sets of sheets so I just rotate through those every week(ish).  The main comforter I wash every few months.  The down comforter (for winter) just goes to the dry cleaner at the end of the season.

Yeah I think I'm kind of seasonal for curtains.

I might go 2 weeks with sheets or so.

Like you, Two, I bring the winter comforter to the dry cleaner at the end of the season.  I just brought my summer comforter to the laundromat since it's too big to fit in my machine.  I actually vacuum my comforters when they are on my bed - to get the cat hair off of them.  It seems to work pretty well lol.

I don't have curtains so that one is easy!

My comforter has to be dry cleaned and it cost $40 when I had that done last.  So I don't do it as often as I should....its probably time to be washed now...

Sheets I wash every week or so.
