If you get to a man's bedroom, and his bed is a sloppy, unkempt mess - Don't fuck him!

Because any man who won't take thirty seconds to tidy up his bed is surely a man who won't invest longer stretches of time cleaning other things that are important.

"Make" my bed - only when I change my sheets.

However, I tidy up almost daily. I only use a top sheet and down comforter in duvet, so it's a simple matter of pulling everything flat and folding it down at the top.

Never. I wash my bedding every month or so, but I never really "make the bed."

My bff says my place looks like a straight man's.

In the shower frequency thread, a poster said he showers when he has "sexy times" on the schedule. (Outside of "sexy times," the poster does not shower regularly.) People like that are only fooling themselves.

Probably smells like a straight man's also if you're only washing your bedding "every month or so" which translated means more likely every two months.

I read that the little microscopic creatures in your bedding like it when you make the bed. It keeps them warm.

Bed is made daily & washed weekly. Getting into a made bed is one of the most satisfying rituals. My dad was in the military & it's one of the lasting chores I cursed as a kid, but appreciate as an adult. Our bed is always nice & tidy.

I have actually read in the past year that you should leave the bed unmade, at least for an hour or so, because the otherwise you are trapping all the sweat and fluids from your body under the covers leaving an ideal environment for dust mites to proliferate.

Every day.

I pull down the covers and open the windows a bit for an airing out in case the sheets got sweaty, then I close the window and put the bedding right, plump and flip the pillows, push the bed back into place if it has shifted a bit, and put any clothes away or take them to the laundry room. It takes 5 minutes.

Make my bed every day. As a poster above commented, it’s a question of self-respect, and the first step toward pulling myself together to begin the day. Change to fresh sheets once a week.

I make the bed every day, after turning the sheets and comforter down in order to air out the bed for an hour or so.

I wash and change the sheets at least once or sometimes twice a week.

Sheets get washed in hot water with Tide, OxyClean, 1/2 cup of bicarbonate of soda, and sometimes a splash of chlorine bleach. Every few washings I add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the rinse water to freshen the sheets. I do not use fabric softener.

Guest room pillowcases are ironed with lavender water.

Here are the sheets I like to purchase.

Every morning except Sunday, which is my cheat day. I work remotely from my bedroom most weekdays. The space feels unprofessional and dirty with an unmade bed. I raise the shades, make the bed, and turn on my Scent Chips to freshen the air. I open the window if it's not freezing or roasting.

Almost every day. Occasionally if I don't sleep well on a Saturday or Sunday, I will leave it undone because I might decide to take a short nap in the afternoon, although I rarely do.

I agree.

I keep a small spray bottle of water (sometimes scented) in the closet of each bedroom and when I’m making a bed I spray the duvet cover and the light dampness makes quick work of smoothing the wrinkles out.

In Germanic countries you are supposed to put your duvet on the sill of the open window. Said open window will air out the room and the unmade bed. Later you return and make the bed anew.

However, this custom requires a clean window sill, and rainy days are a no go. Still, I see this regularly, even in the dead of winter, in the dirty centre of cities.

Apparently Germans have a strange obsession with open windows. Still venting rooms from open windows makes sense, even inside the city, since the air outside is almost always better than that inside a closed apartment.
