Frequency of changing bed sheets in different countries. Per cent.Figure 2-5 shows that the respondents from Spain wash their bed sheets atmuch lower temperatures than respondents from the other countries (35 %stating that they use cold water, and 40 % using 30 °C). The Greek and Norwegianrespondents wash their bed sheets at considerably higher temperatures.The most usual temperature among the Norwegian respondents is 60°C, while 20 % of the respondents wash their bed sheets at 90 °C. This patternis quite similar to the Greek respondents, where we find that a somewhat largerpercentage wash their bed sheets at 70 °C and a smaller percentage at 60°C. Boiling or washing at 90 °C are not so common, but about 20 % of therespondents in Norway and Greece do this. The temperature used by the respondentsin the Netherlands is somewhere in the middle. A larger share washtheir bed sheets at 40 °C than in the other countries, but 60 °C is the mostusual temperature.

At the opposite end of the scale, only 19 % of the Spanishrespondents report using a bath towel only once. In Spain it is most commonto use bath towels 5 times or more.
