A new survey has revealed that the average single man changes his bed sheets just four times per year, with the grubbiest age group being revealed as those aged 18-25.
According to DailyMail.uk, coupled-up Britons change their sheets most frequently according to the results, averaging a sheet swap every two weeks, while single women change theirs every 2.5 weeks.
Unsurprisingly, it's women who take charge of the laundry in 81 per cent of relationships.
Of those who claimed to wash their sheets once every three months or less, 55 per cent were aged 18-25, with men accounting for 71 per cent of the respondents.
In contrast, those who claimed to wash their sheets once a week on average were predominantly aged between 35-50; 62 per cent were female.
Some 17 per cent of the single men taking part claimed that a prospective partner has been 'put off' by the cleanliness of their bed sheets
Those who claimed to change their bed linen once every three months or less were asked why this was the case.
The majority (49 per cent) simply claimed that they felt this was an ‘acceptable gap’ to leave between sheet changes, while 22 per cent ‘didn’t see the need’ to change them more frequently.
Just under a fifth simply ‘didn’t care.’
