Martha Says This Is How Often You Should Change Your Sheets

How often you wash your sheets can be a hotly contested debate. While most experts recommend doing it weekly, many people fall short of that laundry goal—by a lot.

During an Amazon Live broadcast of In Bed with Paige DeSorbo, Martha discussed a wide range of personal topics, including her bed-cleaning habits.

When asked how often she swaps her bedding, Martha revealed she changes her sheets every two to three days. "It's so nice to get into a fresh bed," she said. After DeSorbo said that she changes hers once a week, Martha looked a little taken aback, saying, "That's a little long." She added that DeSorbo should change them every five days.

Despite Martha's guidance, she went on to say that many people go weeks without putting fresh sheets on their beds. According to a survey she took on social media, Martha said that more than 70 percent responded, stating they change their sheets every four weeks.

Despite her desire for a clean bed, Martha told DeSorbo that she does let her pets in bed with her, specifically her French Bulldogs, Creme Brûlée, Bête Noire, Muna Luna, and Half Moon.
