Indeed. My red silk boxer shorts need very careful handling.

Is that like polishing a turd?

i'd hate to get in the way of underweargate but can i ask something here (since all the laundro experts are congregated here)

how often do you all wash your bed sheets/ duvet?

as i live in tropical climates it's once a week minimum
back in CH it was also weekly, though i had friends who changed sheets after two weeks, some a month? (really??) that was perhaps duvet covers. (does it vary fm winter to summer?)

thanks for any input, hope i'm allowed to derail this thread a bit...

My bed every week, kids’beds every other week. Same all year long.

I don't want to be a deter-gent but all this knickering is causing a vicious cycle that is spinning into a washing machine conundrum.

I know you're all pantying with bated breath so here's my sudgestion.

Bleach, baby, bleach.

It's cheap and will kill anything... even you, if you drink it.

Buy the stuff at your local Coop and Migros (and be delightfully surprised at how cheap it is), add the detergent and start the machine. First add the detergent and then add the bleach (I'd dilute it.)

Of course, you should only do this with whites.

EDIT:

According to this Live Science article, only those whose health may be compromised (i.e. nursing home residents) really need to worry about laundry bacteria.
It's an interesting report:

That's the one we use. We have our own machine but sometimes we wash stuff that needs it
The Maxil product goes with clothes; for cleaning the machine with an empty cycle we use this instead:

again, even if you have your own machine it might be useful once in a year.

This post made me think of Michael Jackson

Haven't heard that in decades!

My washing machine has a cleaning cycle - 95 degrees, a couple of hours, needs no soap or anything. I do it every month or so, depending.

That’s what I do too.

My kids liked to sing bi%&ch baby, bi*ç%ch baby

Maybe its easier just to " get rid " of the neighbours

Never. But quite regularly I go for my post-prandial nap, and have to get clean sheets etc. out of the cupboard.

I think the OP has some nasty disease picked up in the Red light district & does not want to infect his neighbours

For adults once a week, kids every other week. For kid with dust mite allergies every week. Duvet of allergic kid once a month

Well if you've bought it in the French supermarket for a low price, I wonder why you are trying to find it in a Swiss supermarket in Geneva. Just take the F bus over the border to Ferney and problem solved. It's much easier to shop in France from most places in Geneva rather than downtown.

Migros have what you want and call it the same as in the link you shared.
