In an effort to combat skyrocketing living costs, a UK couple has developed an unconventional approach to save money on utility bills by reducing the frequency of washing their bedsheets and implementing strict bed hygiene rules.
27-year-old Klaudia Wójcik from Worthing, West Sussex, United Kingdom, believes she’s discovered a simple yet effective solution to cut down on expenses. In an interview with The Sun, she shares her unconventional approach to saving money on utility bills: reducing the frequency of washing her bedsheets.
Klaudia and her fiancé, Ben, have developed a unique household routine to tackle the ever-rising prices. Instead of laundering their bedsheets weekly, they’ve opted for a once-a-month cold wash. Although Klaudia’s mother disapproves of this four-week schedule, the couple insists it’s a practical way to conserve water and electricity.
Living together in their West Sussex home, Klaudia and Ben have implemented strict bed hygiene rules to maintain cleanliness. They’ve established a “pajamas-only” policy for their bed, prohibiting anyone from lounging on it in clothes worn outside the house. This measure ensures the sheets stay cleaner for more extended periods.
In addition to their bedtime attire rules, the couple takes extra precautions to keep their sheets spotless. Their three-legged canine companion, affectionately named “Unsteady Eddie,” is lovingly barred from jumping on the bed, preventing his “mucky paws” from soiling the linens.
While the exact amount Klaudia and Ben save through their laundry practices remains uncertain, they’ve adopted other strategies to stretch their budget as living expenses continue to soar in the UK and elsewhere, including the United States.
Klaudia prefers not to use a dryer for her washed sheets. Instead, she captures that “freshly-washed linen” aroma by hanging the sheets on a clothesline when weather permits. She’s found that air-drying the linens outdoors helps maintain their freshness for longer periods.
Furthermore, Klaudia uses a bed throw as an additional layer of protection against dirt and dust. Initially, she was concerned that washing her sheets once every four weeks might leave her sleeping in filth, particularly since she used to wash them every two weeks. However, she felt compelled to make the change as bills kept piling up.
Recalling her initial reservations, Klaudia confessed, “At first, it felt so gross.” She became preoccupied with sniffing the sheets every night, ensuring the scent of washing powder lingered, and worried about sweating during sleep, potentially causing the bed to stink.
Klaudia’s mother strongly disapproved of her daughter’s decision, labeling it disgusting and claiming the couple would always be dirty. In response, Klaudia told The Sun, “But they weren’t filthy or stained – they just needed a freshen-up. As long as they smelt nice, I wasn’t worried.”
