    I usually wiggle at it a while, curse a bit, go downstairs and huff and puff a bit, then go back and wiggle at a bit more.

    Always iron my bedclothes. Not the same if they're not crisp and smooth.

    How often do people wash their mattress protectors? I think of it every month or so, but my friend was laughing at me for doing it so often.

    The trick with Egyptian cotton high thread count linen is to iron them when they are still slightly damp, the heat from the iron will dry some of the excess, then neatly fold & leave on a radiator somewhere warm to finish. If they dry too much you won't get the creases out... EVER.

    Don't have a mattress protector, seals are still pretty good, no leaks yet. :p

    Ah right, is that what they are called? Thought it was just a thing that you stick on a mattress. Only wash that every five or six months or so maybe

    I do mine every 2 months or so, but I change my sheets every week or 2 and I'm fairly clean so I wouldn't be bothered doing it more often!

    Folding fitted sheets. The easy way, though I am not sure it will translate to text.

    Hold the sheet in front of you inside out, and long side up.
    Put a fist in each corner of the top side, bring left one across and put it over the other - you will turn it inside out, and hook it over the other fist.

    Swap fists so sheet is on your left hand, and use the right to pick up the bottom two corners, one inside the other so each hand has two layers of corner on it. Bring right fist across to left, turn the corners and hook them all over the left fist.

    You now have a quartered sheet with all four corners hooked over one fist. Put your forearm across your front, fold the short side down and the long side across, then kinda slip your arm out of the sheet and fold it down a couple of times to make a tidy packet with all the edges inside.

    It does work, honest, and is very quick once you have done it a couple of times.
    Hey macarena!
