We are used to the fact that keeping the bedroom clean should be a regular procedure. According to statistics, laundry in Russians’ homes occurs at least once a week. How often do they wash clothes in other countries?
Laundry and English housewives
Anyone who has been to Europe knows that among Europeans, dirty hair or dirty shoes are par for the course. If you look at their life, some things will baffle or even shock the average Russian person. Washing does not take much time, since things are washed either rarely or in the laundry. The least amount of time is spent on washing bed linen.
Oddly enough, washing clothes in England is done much less frequently than here in Russia. Housewives in England wash bed linen no more than once a month, or even less often. Approximately 500,000 housewives wash their bed linen only once a year, only one in five UK residents do it monthly.
Reference! According to statistics, the higher the age of the housewife, the less often washing is done.The overwhelming majority of the most unscrupulous housewives are pensioners from the rural part of the population.
Most people prefer to change their bedding about once every three months. They wash it a little more often in the summer when the weather is hot. The weekly procedure is carried out only for the youngest members of the family - children.
The same applies to cleanliness of bed linen in neighboring countries: Germany and France. European women are often surprised to learn that their Russian neighbor will do her laundry every week. Therefore, most Europeans prefer to sleep in closed pajamas, rather than in light panties or even naked. Sometimes washing bedding is neglected even in cases where it is stained with food or drinks. For example, if a pet causes a stain, or someone accidentally spills their morning coffee, at best, the stain will simply be washed off and left to dry. Less clean - just let it dry.
Why do English women wash their bed linen so rarely?
Although European women are not distinguished by cleanliness, they are distinguished by thriftiness. Yes, it's all about saving water. Asking your neighbors for clean dishes is commonplace in the UK, and keeping the water running while showering is an unaffordable luxury. Therefore, laundry is washed no more than once a month. Moreover, bedding for all family members at once.
The materials used for bedding in Europe are slightly different than in Russia, and the color is most often gray or dark blue. English women do not use bright underwear with various prints, even in children's bedrooms. This allows the laundry to look fresh for a long time.
Such savings on water are due to high tariffs for utilities, as well as attitude to resources.Indeed, the British are less clean, but also less wasteful. Some people are starting to wonder: does it make sense to change bed linen more often than once a month? Each housewife takes care of her home herself. Infrequent changes of bed linen can cause an unpleasant odor, greasy sheets and pillows, and a large number of bed bugs.
If you come to visit England and stay overnight, you shouldn’t be at all surprised if they give you a bed in which someone slept before you a month ago, or put in a bed a family member who has left for a week. Whether this is good or bad is up to you to decide.

Well, what nonsense you wrote, girl. Don't you think it's funny?
We live in the Benelux and change bed sheets every week, our neighbors are Poles, Moroccans as well, local young families once every 10 days, elderly once every 14 days, and this is because it is difficult for them to change the sheets, that is, to pull them onto the mattress. But more than 14 days, that is, 1 month He doesn't sleep on dirt here.
And these lords still teach us how to live and call Russia a wild country!

What nonsense, I have never seen a European with a dirty head and dirty shoes. This is simply nonsense! Everyone smells nice of perfume and clean body. Italians generally take showers 5 times a day.
It’s no different, it’s the English who are shitting on our stairs, putting out “bulls” against the wall and scattering paper advertisements from mailboxes on the floor, although there is a box for paper “spam” nearby.
Walk along the houses in the spring, when the snow has already melted, but the grass has not yet grown. There is a layer of cigarette butts that have been thrown out of windows by generations of residents for many years. From grandfathers to great-grandchildren.
Take a walk through the grown grass and rejoice at the “products” of dogs that loving owners do not want to clean up after.
But everyone washes their clothes, d-o-o-o-o-o-o! )) Well, it’s good that at least something...
It’s okay, with such tariffs for utilities, it will soon be the same in Russia.. We are looking up to Europe..
Somehow it’s hard to believe.
I am sure that the Goddess - who lives in London - forces her servants to change their underwear MUCH MORE OFTEN! And any clean guy won’t sleep on smelly sheets!
I wonder who such nonsense is written for? I live in Germany. The Germans are very clean people. Take a shower every morning to leave the house clean and fresh. And in the summer several times. Linen is changed every day, bed linen is usually changed once a week. Many people don’t bother with ironing, it’s there. They may come out with a wrinkled shirt. But never stale! The funny thing is that in all the twenty years of living in Germany, I saw dark blue bed linen on sale twice.The Germans prefer light colors, pastels, with beautiful patterns.
You need to wash more often with soap, and then you won’t have to change the sheets every week.
Western Europe. They started washing not so long ago. The plague “taught them” for a long time. Perfume was invented to drown out the stench, and wigs were invented to hide lice.
This is utter nonsense, people are the same all over the world, everything depends on the person, his culture and material capabilities. What is written in this disgusting article is a desire to show how good we are and how bad they are. I was lucky enough to visit, live and work in different countries in Europe, Asia and America. I lived in the USSR and Russia most of my life and I can say again and again, everything depends on the person himself, his cultural level and financial situation. In Germany, for example, you don’t have to particularly choose hotels; they will all be clean and have exceptionally clean linen, and the toilets there never stink. In England, yes, there are problems with fresh water, but they are coping with it. In Russia, many problems are traditionally associated with the fact that the country is large and rich in size and innumerable natural resources, and many do not think about caring for water and saving natural resources (they, unfortunately, do not last forever). In India, for example, clothes are washed in muddy muddy rivers, and sewerage often goes there too. Over thousands of years, Hindus and other ethnic groups in India have developed immunity to many infectious diseases that exist in much greater numbers in tropical climates. The same picture may exist in Africa and other Asian countries.In the northern countries, in Norway, Iceland, Canada, Russia, as well as in New Zealand and southern Chile, there are many reserves of fresh water, but this does not mean that it should be used thoughtlessly. There is no need to compare someone with someone else, much less poke around in other people's beds. First you need to look into yours. You can read so much nonsense on the Internet. I rarely go there for many reasons. Truly, the Internet was created to make everyone's stupidity visible. Write, comrades, write...
Bullshit. I lived in France - my linen is changed at least once a week. Damn, Putinoids, do you think that there is an Iron Curtain in Russia now and that no one knows how people live in other countries?! You're already tired of writing crap. Come up with at least something plausible - what is the Pukin government paying you money for?!
“Oddly enough, washing clothes in England is done much less often than here in Russia...” And what’s so strange???... I don’t understand
Of course, everything is better in Russia. Russia is the birthplace of elephants, everyone knows. And in Europe they rot alive in dirty beds, eaten by bedbugs and lice
Where do these statistics even come from?
It is not surprising if in Europe in the old days they never washed at all, but threw them out of pots into the windows! Ugh, they're dirty, they're crawling up to us like they're crawling to the moon!
not fatal, it can be worse than sleeping on an unwashed bed
I don’t know, I live in Germany, I wash my bed sheets once a week, I don’t see any problems, everyone who washed them never stank, the article is a fabrication
nonsense, I traveled a lot around Europe, met people, I haven’t seen or heard anything like this
Oh, I can't laugh. My neighbor not only doesn’t change her laundry, she turns it over from “clean to cleaner.” Throws it away only when the sheet breaks due to dirt. And this is not a joke. Moscow.
“English women don’t use bright underwear with various prints...” Muzyka, where did you find such a word: prints? In what dictionary? Albany? Learn Russian, ignoramus.
I think for such stuffing the author should be sent to an eternal ban. So that it’s not commonplace.
I wonder if they also flush the toilet once a year?
and what's wrong? I also change my bed sheets once a month. You don’t go to bed dirty, only after a shower
They would generally remain silent about dirty shoes. You drive around Europe for a month and you don’t have to wash your car, but in our city 2-3 days are not enough.
What nonsense... I’ve traveled all over Europe, but I’ve never seen anything like this. Clean, snow-white bed! Why write such lies?
Is it that the British also pissed in my elevator, destroyed the playground in the yard, threw cigarette butts at everything at the entrance and coughed it up. Bastards.
I live in Serbia. Yes, they walk around with dirty heads. Yes, bed sheets are washed and changed rarely. No more than once a month. They look at me like I’m crazy because I wash my whole head every other day. They are washed in parts. Rarely. It is recommended not to get your back wet at all in winter. I didn’t see anyone wearing washcloths.
I live in Germany.Germans tend to shower every day. BUT WHAT??? They quickly pour over the body, then lather themselves and then turn on the water again to wash off the foam. And I wash myself this way too - my personal record for the water meter is 7 liters.
This is because water costs 8 euros per cubic meter: 2 euros for the water itself, 2 euros for discharging it into the sewer, 4 euros for gas for heating. Thus, the scent costs 5-6 cents. It seems like nothing. But on a hot day you have to climb 2-3 times + TOILET + KITCHEN + WASHER. In total, water costs about 100 euros per month.
The main problem of the Russians: due to relocation to cities, the CULT OF THE BATH is leaving. And washing in a bathhouse is not a shower! After the bath, the body remains dry and fresh for 3 days, there is no smell of sweat. After a shower, a person stinks within half an hour - the pores and tissues are not cleansed of toxins.
Europe is a stinker against Russia. On all counts.
Where does this strange information come from? Every country is dirty, but that doesn't mean that people don't wash their clothes. I have never seen dirty laundry in England and they shower twice a day. Why make such generalizations? They don't take off their shoes, that's true. But they never have dirt on the street in the city, even in the rain. Therefore, if you come for a short time, then you do not take off your shoes. Nobody wears shoes to bed.
You tell this to the Serbs: I lived among them and I can say: they are clean, handy craftsmen, hard workers. I have never seen or felt the smell of Russian elderly people anywhere abroad
I lived in England for 13 years and finally found out the whole truth. A ban on a profession instead of a fee for such authors
It’s not clear what the story is about: about rarely washing the bed sheets or about rarely changing them?
So what if they change it once a month? This is normal if normal people take a shower before going to bed and then sleep in pajamas.
By the way, in the stupid 90s, when there was no electricity, gas, or hot water at home, and cold water was supplied intermittently, many city residents also rarely changed their bed sheets and rarely washed. Sometimes, KSK write contemptuously in the comments about the Serbs.
We have. In Russia. Everything is heading towards this too. Electricity and water have become expensive! And bed linen must be changed once a week. Regardless. Do you shower every day? Man of loss. There are also bed mites. There are also apartment fleas. They are practically invisible. They also bite. In Germany, I’ll add, water from dishes goes to flush the toilet. Or they install a filtration system. And the water is reused. French people. To wash less often. Cologne was invented. Briefly speaking. All this saving applies to not rich people.
Holy crap, we were in Germany this spring, I rented an apartment, everything was there, including a shower and a washing machine, and no one limited water consumption. Wash yourself whether you want or not. And certainly the water flowed into the toilet was clean, and not after washing the dishes.
