Clothes - how often do you wash?

Question

So how often do you wash your clothes.

I know you wash your underwear and socks after 1 wear

But what about other types of clothes - like t-shirt, etc?

2 wears or 1 wear

Do you wear new clothes everday?

Answer 1

Generally speaking anything that goes next to the body - especially near sweat glands - needs to be washed after one wear, but outer clothes can be worn for several days before they need washing. The weather and your level of activity also make a difference.



So, socks and underwear - fresh everyday;

T-shirts - I might put it aside to wear again if it's been a cool day and/or I haven't been particularly active;

Blouses - fresh for each wear or they look draggled;

Jeans - I'll wear for several days before washing;

Work trousers - wear 2 or 3 times before washing;

Sweatshirts - mostly wash occasionally;

Woolens - I hate handwashing them, so as rarely as I can get away with...



And there's always the 'sniff test' - if you take it off and you can smell it, then it needs washing. Wish I could get my step-son to understand that one ;o)

Answer 2

Usually I wear clean clothes everyday. But sometimes a t shirt, dress etc is still clean and fresh and I will wear indoors. If I was going out somewhere then it would definately be clean. Jeans normally go a few wears. I shower in the morning and bath at night so things tend to stay fresh.

Answer 3

The clothes that I wear out in public , I usually wash after 1 wear.....but the clothes I wear when I am at home being a bum, usually after a couple wears because since I wear those clothes at home I don't have to worry about people smelling me....

Answer 4

I dont wash my jacket all the time but that is a jacket... If you are wearing a spaggetti strap or something that does not graze your armpits I give it a 2 day.. Jeans are 2 or 3 depending how and where you were them.. skirts the same... But again I hate rewearing shirts unless they are spaggetti strap or I have an undershirt on. I don't wear new clothes everyday but I have a selection I pick amongst. If it smells just use the gel!! :) hehe

Answer 5

Tread a little more lightly! How much water and carbon-heavy energy gets used washing things that don't need it. Ok, you don't want to smell, but half the things that get washed are pretty clean. Time and place for brand new and bright white, but washing jeans daily? Do you do particularly dirty work? Do yo really HAVE to be immaculate?

Oh, and don't use tons of soap - you don't need to SEE bubbles to clean, and don't wash too hot.

Finally, ever tried doing a wash without soap on 30C? You'd be surprised how well it works for a lot os stuff.

Answer 6

I wear the same jeans a few times and wear jackets quite a bit before washing them. But everything else I just wear once before washing them.

Answer 7

i only wear new clothes everyday if I'm working outside the house. i will wear a pair of jeans 3 or 4 times and a tshirt maybe twice. i tend to change tops more often than trousers, i might wear work trousers two days in a row. any kind of underwear gets changed every day.

Answer 8

if i can get away with 2 day wear i will on clothes not underwear but usually only 1 day because the kids seem to get them more dirty in summer due to being in the garden most of the time.

Answer 9

Well some ppl actually with jeans or pants two times but I think that everything should go through once. So in that case you should definitely go to the washer machine or what ever every week or every other week depending on how much you need to wash.

Answer 10

i wash almost everything after one wear. socks, underwear, tops.. but jeans or skirts i usually wear more than one time. but that also depends on what kind of clothing it is, i mean for example my "nice dresses" i wash instantly after use, but not my "everyday-skirts"..haha, now does that make any sence at all?

Answer 11

if your hanging around your house then you can probably wear that tshirt and pants again if they smell okay and look alright still

socks and underwear (srry just one use or thats nasty)

pants (1-3 sometimes depends)

shirts(1-2 maybe it depends on what you do that day)

do laundry after a week or so

hope that helped

Answer 12

Depends what it is t-shirts id say 1 wear if they are close to your armpits.. lol (not that i sweat but still)



Jeans 2 wears.. or sometimes 3 if im lazy and they still look clean!



And i wish i wore new clothes everyday but i dont have that much money!! Though i do know someone who does.. though she just wears leggings and a top...not jeans..lol

Answer 13

I wash my clothing after every wear. However, I do not wash jackets and coats each time I wear them.

Answer 14

i wear jeans 3 times before i wash them and the rest just once

Answer 15

undies every day, t-shirts tops every day and skirts bottoms every day, well i wash them after i wear them once and get around to the washing lol but coats i would wash when i think they need doing x kitti x

Answer 16

Depends on where you have worn them and what you have done in them e.g. clubbin - wash everytime due to smokeyness and sweatyness from dancin. T shirts and that are ok twice so long as you don't sweat a lot and you dnt spill food down them

Answer 17

relies upon on the object... outer artwork-shirts, jackets, and sweaters could desire to be worn 4-5 circumstances earlier hitting the bog down. Socks, underclothes and t-shirts are replaced two times an afternoon for the period of the summer season by fact of sweating. artwork denims will choose for 2 days earlier going interior the bog down. We do laundry on Monday and Thursday... nevertheless cling our outfits out on the line.

Answer 18

Anything that has been against my skin I wash after one wearing and if it is a secondary layer then it can be worn more than once.
