What do the continentals do with their bedding? (1 Viewer)

[Rocking Rivet]

I’ve been abroad now for over a month in our motor home, staying on mixture of free aires, paid aires and camp sites and never once seen anyone airing their bedding except us!

I hope that's not an aire you're not camping on

 

[Puddleduck]

Seen a few putting bedding through washers and driers.

 

[Nanniemate]

I use duvets and covers so they are washed and dried

 

[TCG]

we dont use sleeping bags, and carry sufficient spare sheets to change once a week

Note the sun shelter and space we have it a paid aire!! Which used to a much nicer municipal site

There are launderettes ever few yards so we just whizz the bedding and clothes through a wash and dry whilst we're doing the shopping. If some inconsiderate dog owners haven't contaminated the machines then they come out lovely and fresh.

Perhaps they don’t see as much bedroom action as you?

 

[Landy Andy]

We go campsites when we do our washing. Maybe the same for the locals

 

[Barriesimpson]

Airing your bedsheets is something that stopped shortly after the shower was invented.

Probably because most of these continentals are only 2-4hrs from home vs your 15hrs drive from home so i suspect they are able to do any cleaning they need at home. Never seen anyone with bedding out in the UK.

Most also will only use light sheets through the summer, single layer cotton vs the more classic Northern European duvet in case there’s an ice age tonight approach

Plenty of launderettes and Laveries on the continent to wash and dry your cloths and bedding covers that can be found by searching "launderette" as search in Google Maps.

Here's a map of some that Manic and I started putting together for launderettes locations.

We drove through a housing estate in Holland one summer and just about every house had their duvets hanging half out their bedroom windows for airing.

Been camping since I was 15 don't think I've ever done that.
When the duvet starts levitating we change the covers.

We noticed that a few times in France twice this year, mind it helps with the bed bugs

It's a special airing aire

 

[scotzsue]

Our german neighbours did this regularly when we were at Mazarron, wonder if they thought we were mucky so and sos.
Have seen all nationalities airing their bedding.

 

[Flairy]

Germans have been airing there bedding for ever it’s normal behaviour.

 

[Riverbankannie]

I wash and air our duvets and bedding whenever there is the chance.

 

[Roby2008]

Us Continentals either have a gin palace with all the mod cons Inc washing machine etc or are like us, not so far from home, we carry a spare sheet and duvet covers, but we are rarely away for more than 4 weeks so one swap is enough, maybe when we do longer Trips we will re-think our strategy.
We are on holiday, cooking, cleaning etc are kept to a minimum

Net shades around the awning would look nicer.,

 

[Puddleduck]

As a pre-teen we had a family holiday in Switzerland and the duvets were hung on the hotel balconies every day. Duvets were a new concept to us and Mum insisted we were supposed to roll up in them!!!

 

[alex n]

if i seen bedding out side the first thing i would think was who pissed the bed

 

[Just smiffy]

Do people hang their duvets out the front of their house to Air when they’re home…..

 

[stewartwebr]

We change the bed every Sunday, we have 4 sets of bedding and once we are down to the last one we find a laundry. As for clothing we wash them in our own machine, but the machine is not big enough for a king size duvet cover

Ours go out in the conservatory at home on a washing line when it's hot during the day, and taken up last thing. This also allows the mattress to air all day. Only having a cheap old bus, ours doesn't have a Conservatory so when on Aires we chuck them out anywhere, as the name invites .

Horse blankets are a lot worse than dog blankets

Nothing worse than that warm horse smell. Reminds me of a Saturday morning going to riding lessons with my Sister. She loved horses, I never seen the attraction but was expected to attend.

 

[BouncyBoatFolk]

You, like me may well be anatomically challenged to enjoy horse riding to it's full potential, I have been told.
