How often do you wash your clothes?

r/

After each use? Only when they are stained/when they smell? Or something in between?

    I wash clothes once a week. Whatever I wear that day goes in the basket and gets washed on Fridays

    Possibly an unpopular opinion, but it depends on the garment. Underwear I wash after each wearing, but shirts/jeans/trousers/skirts depends on how sweaty I got, did I spill something, did the cuffs trail in a rain puddle, et cetera.

    After each use. Except jeans I might wear a few times.

    After each use for shirts but I wear my jeans and leggings two times before wash unless I worked out in them.

    Once a week. Typically only after one use (besides outerwear)

    When I run out of underwear. And I have a lot of underwear.

    Every single use. Som garments can’t be machine washed, so I’ll handwash those.

    I wash my activewear after one wear, I will pool my whites together and run a load of them 1-2x a week. It really depends on the garment though, I will get a few wears out of my tracksuits/jumpers/tshirts

    Tops and bottoms tend to get re-worn several times, unless they get dirty (or if I’m particularly sweaty that day). Socks and underwear get changed daily. Sweaters and overwear really only get washed when they’re visibly dirty, or at the end of the season for them. So, it depends 😅

    I do laundry once a week, everything gets washed. I also hang dry my clothes so they last longer. Dryers in America are no joke on clothes.

    For the most part, I wear once and do laundry on Mondays. Jeans will go with a week of wearing. Other bottoms, dresses, skirts, some tops will get an extra wear or two, depending on how long I wore them for, what I wore them for, etc.

    The only thing I wash after just one wear is underwear, socks, or anything that got sweaty. Everything else depends.

    I know that I’m in the minority for this, but I wash nearly everything after each use. Sweaters and casual clothes that I wear around the house for a couple hours are an exception. I used to work in a warehouse and my clothes would be pretty dirty by the time I got home so it because a little bit of a compulsion– same with washing my hands. If it’s not clean in my mind then you can’t convince me otherwise.

    Shirts, socks and undies – each use

    Leggings/shorts – typically each use or possibly every other

    Jeans/jackets – as needed.

    I wash everything once a week, dont rewear anything that i left the house for an extended time, went to work in, or sweated in. So generally everything except pjs gets washed after one use.
    Thats everything- even my husbands jeans. I dont care if they say to wash them less.

    Twice a week. I pretty much wash everything after one wash. It’s just so hot where I’m at most of the year I’m too sweaty I even have to wash jeans after one wear.

    Doesn’t matter how may washes I do per day, both wash baskets are always full and my life is always a chore

    Shirts and underclothing are washed after every use. Jeans, pants, and shorts are washed after a few uses.

    Depends what I’ve done and where I’ve been and for how long. Underwear are only worn once, then go in the basket. As for the rest, if I slip on a dress to go grocery shopping or do pick ups etc, I don’t send it straight to laundry, too much unnecessary washing can result in fading colours and wear&tear.

    If I use public transport or sit in a cafe, they go in the basket.

    After every wear.

    I’m not sure what you mean. So like I usually wash my clothes about every five days.

    Underwear and shirts get washed after one use. Pants get 1-3 uses. Leggings get washed after one use since they’re so skin tight, jeans, probably 3 times cause I usually squeeze out of them as soon as I get home. I usually wear bras for 2/3 times just because I don’t have as many of them. Socks are single use as well.

    Bras, undies and socks after every use. Work pants and shirts, every 2-3 wears. Leggings and tee shirts it depends on if I sweat or not.
