Rainbows always look nice when im working at the farm all day and one pops up ahead. now they mean even more too me! Whoo, im Gay...

Being single

I see no need to make it now but I used to be an executive housekeeper for a hotel and did go to the Housekeeping Olympics & came in second place with a time of 1.29 for making a standard bed which did not include running around it but moved just 3 times. I would have preferred fitted sheet folding because I can fold them perfectly square but those days are long gone.

it takes me about 3 minutes to make my bed in the morning. i straighten the corners and blankets, as well as fluff the pillows.
John, knowing you, the beds look Perfect!
Well, Edgar, I cant argue with you on that. mother never forced us too make our beds, it was Dad who pushed it. My Grandmother was very strict when he was growing up. On your other point, What can I say...
Im not single, mark. can see your reasoning, though. it looks so much nicer when your room is tidy (ready to be vacuumed at any moment) and your bed is made!

thank you.

If I am the John in reference, my beds are perfect. Hospital corners, etc. I get up, say a little prayer, make the bed, then leave the room.  If I die duringg the day, at least they'll not criticize my bed, lol.


 On the very first day at the seminary, I had to clean a room used for retreats.  24 beds in a room.  Yikes.

I hate making my bed because it seems so pointless since I'm just going to get getting in it again! But I do make it because I do like my room to look clean and orderly. Plus, the Furry Loved Ones like to hang out on my bed and I wouldn't want them burrowing under the sheets.

 

[vacuumlad1650]

Yes, John, i was referencing you, as Frank G hoover would say, Mr. Hoover Man
Charles, that was something i always pointed out. When i didnt make my bed, my room happened to be messy. Oddly when i started making my bed, i started keeping a clean room.

Charles Richard, i just thought of this one. Would you say its a Double Rainbow for you now?

I've not had a nice bedspread in a while. Just have a single sheet over a pillow top queen and a thin comforter. I don't like being overly warm at night and usually kick my blankets off

My warmth and comfort comes from my small collection of stuffed animals I cuddle every night

 

[vacuumlad1650]

My 2 biggest problems are that i hate the cold and i have poor circulation. I wear sweatshirts and jeans even in the summer when its 80-110 degrees here in North-East Illinois

Do I make my bed?

Everyday.
Make your bed, sleep in it. Repeat.
Once a week, wash your sheets so you don't get neshada bumps.

 

[vinvac]

With out fail! Everyday!

There have been a couple of occasions where I forgot, not sure why, but made the bed when I found that night before going to sleep.

I make sure the sheets are washed at least weekly and the mattress is vacuumed at least monthly.

I have friends who never make the bed and often don't wash the sheets for weeks at t a time...I just shivvvvvvver

What are <a name="start_30753.346818"></a>neshada bumps ??

 

[dysonman1]

I wash my sheets once per week. I have two sets of sheets, so that I can remove the 'old' set, vacuum the mattress with the Rainbow (have to drown the dust mites), then remake the bed with the other set of sheets. When one set gets 'worn', I buy a new one. No need for more than two sets at a time (to me anyway). As far as making the bed in the morning, who has time for that? And to me, it's pointless. A waste of time. However, my husband says otherwise, which is why Donnie makes the bed every morning - not me. I always tell him afterwards that he could have actually been doing something useful with his time, like unloading the KitchenAid or walking the border collies. Or dusting.

Charles,

neshada bumps mean dirty bumps in Italian. Sort of a rash, but not itchy, or red.
Close together, and often chaff off. Tiny little boils for lack of a better word.

 

[kloveland]

Yes. I make my bed after I get up every morning. I feel incomplete if I don’t. Growing up my grandfather would call me out if I didn’t. Whenever I would stay with my grandparents. It’s a good habit to get into!

 

[sebo_fan]

In Scotland I just have a mattress cover, winter tog duvet and a blanket on top. I wash my sheets once a week but I seldom vacuum the mattress; possibly twice a month. The rest of the time I open up the windows and ensure the mattress gets an airing. Not sure if many do that but that's what my grandmother used to do before she beat the bed with a carpet beater.

Ah yes, the beloved Duve`t;

Some companies offer a mattress cleaning tool. Is it just a gimic?
I knew this gal once whose husband wanted to surprise her with a weekend away.
He had her girl friends take her to a bar until he got home from work.
When he picked her up, she was three sheets to the wind.
She passed out on the bed at home and he could not get her to the car.
The weekend was not a complete loss.
Two weeks later, she was with child, and her friends said to name the baby Matreesse if it was a girl, and Duvet if it was a boy.

Matteress cleaning is a demo tool for a vacuum cleaner-Really,any vacuum can be used for matteress cleaning with the right tools.Its a favorite with Kirby,TriStar and Rainbow salesmen.The customer is grossed out by the dust mites,skin ash,and hair cleaned from the matteress.Its especially effective when used with black pads in the dirt meter on the vacuum.You see the dust mites crawling around on the pad.Run the vacuum a bit longer and airflow thru the dust mites spiracles dries them out,killing them.For the matteress cleaning---Remember Hygenetech?The UV head for their version of the Kirby cleaner.

ultr violet light;

I do remember one upright with that feature. Is the one you mentioned it?
Old Hamilton Dryers used to have them also.
The old Kenmore Magic Blue vac had a pulsating mattress tool. I think LG made that one.
