Once a week, with the cases that move it. And the reason this one is easy to answer and hard to keep up with.
Once a week is the number nearly every dermatologist and hospital system lands on, and pillowcases earn more than that because they spend eight hours against your face.
The single number is the part everyone quotes and the part that is least useful. These are the cases that move it.
| If | Then |
|---|---|
| Acne, eczema or sensitive skin | Pillowcase every 3 to 4 days |
| No pets in the bed, you shower at night, cold weather | Sheets every 10 to 14 days is defensible |
| Night sweats, a pet in the bed, or you share it | More often than weekly |
It is the only item on this page that needs a free hour rather than a free minute. Stripping a bed is five minutes; being home for the dry is the actual commitment, and that is why it slides to the following weekend eleven times.
Which is worth saying plainly, because it is not a memory problem and it is not a discipline problem. An interval measured in weeks has nowhere to live in an ordinary week. Nothing in your Tuesday reminds you that it has been five of them.
Upkeep on a similar clock, so you can batch the booking instead of doing this one in isolation.
| Upkeep | How often |
|---|---|
| Hair Mask Day | Once a week |
| Nail Fill | Every 2 to 3 weeks |
| Root Touch-Up | Every 4 to 6 weeks |

You now know the number. The number was never the hard part. In a week you will be somewhere else, thinking about something else, and nothing will remind you.
