    The ones in my bedroom maybe once a year. In the living room I wash them more often because they get dusty more often. All my curtains are black, so it's pretty obvious when they get dusty on top.

    I dust them when they look dusty but never realized you are supposed to actually wash them. Whoops!

    How often do you all clean your light switches? I do this weekly. I also clean my walls because my dogs sleep against certain ones and leave oils behind.

    oh my, I have not washed mine since I got them a year ago. I hate ironing so I avoid it like the plague. I do wipe everything down with Lysol wipes when someone has a cold or the flu and I wipe the blinds down. I think I will wash them next week when we get back in town. Or the week after when I have more time. :)

    I have no curtains because I'm lazy and my husband hates them. I never thought about washing them until my coworker mentioned doing hers last year. I felt terrible about my cleaning abilities when I questioned her about it.

    FFSC- I don't iron. I just throw shit in the dryer until it is wrinkle free. If that doesn't work, I wear something else.
    You should try Downy Wrinkle Release. You just spray it on your clothes and smooth out the wrinkles. It works really well!

    I mean... If I see my light switch is dirty I will clean it. But that doesn't happen often.

    My mom used to clean houses. She said they are the most touched, dirtiest, never washed surfaces in people's houses. It stuck with me I guess.

    I wash mine every 4 months or so. I have a "spring cleaning" every season and wash them. I wash my walls then too. 

    :::heading to Parenting to see how strange I am::::



    ETA: I have two dogs and a husband with severe allergies. 

    It's not so much Parenting but me and my dirty, dirty mind.


    Link?? I'm confuzed.

    It's somewhere. Someone said that someone else likely washes her curtains.

    My mind went into the gutter and now I think of the other kind of curtains with all these posts.

    You all are going to kill me.



    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    I wash those curtains everyday.

    @GhostMonkey‌
    I believe that would be the carpet you mean, not the curtains. If you are referring to the saying "does the carpet match the drapes?"

    Drapes/curtains=hair
    Carpet=pubic hair.

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I do not wash my (window) curtains. Did not know that was a thing.

    The other thing I got from the parenting thread was that people wash their sheets weekly? I definitely don't do it that often.

    Am I gross??

    If you're gross, then I am too.  I aim to wash my sheets once a month.  No comment on my success rate.  I am terrible at keeping things clean.  Who has time for all the cleaning we should be doing?

    Also, I don't have any curtains, but I know if I did, they would never ever be washed.

    I get this.....uncontrollable urge....about every 6 months where everything that fits must go in the washer. I wash curtains, rugs, dust ruffles, couch cushion covers etc. If it is cloth/fabric and it can fit it in the washer it washes. DH hates it.

    I am crazy obsessive about cleaning. It's my shtick. I wash baseboards and walls monthly. Wash all linens including curtains at least once a month. Light fixtures, pictures, ceiling, stove, and blinds are biweekly. Everything else is daily. I can't relax until my routine is done.
