changing sheets

Replacing bed linens

Changing sheets is the household task of removing bedding and replacing it with fresh linens.

The phrase captures the full process—stripping fitted and flat sheets, pillowcases, and often mattress covers, then remaking the bed: I change the sheets every Sunday.

The task is domestic shorthand for basic upkeep and self-care.
