Anonymous Coward User ID: 1306067 United States 04/20/2011 09:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just curious, I have been washing clothes after one day but read that clothes dont really get dirty (unless you spill something on them) untill you've been wearing them for three days.And how often do you change your pyjamas and bedsheets? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1349402Underwear, one day, two tops if you got lucky the night before and went home with her, then had to work. Jeans? Three days tops over the weekend starting Friday. IF YOU JUST HUNG OUT. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1329586this was what made me wonder, it could save money not to wash so often, also wtshtf, it may not be possible to wash clothes very often. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1347769 United States 04/20/2011 10:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They cost more than normal jeans and the manufacturers recommend that they should not be washed for a full year. They say that they can be dry cleaned after 6 months if you just have to clean them, but not before that. After 6 months if they get too dirty then they say to wear them into the ocean and use sand to rub stains away, then let them air dry while still wearing them. If they get to smelly, you're supposed to hang them up and let them air out. If that doesn't work, they're supposed to be put in a freezer overnight, which will kill the germs causing the odor. I'm not making this up. [link to stylenerds.com] It really irritates me when people don’t know how to wash their jeans properly. They spend a lot of money on a nice pair of jeans and end up treating it such a way that causes the denim to lose shape and feel like a pair of jogging pants. To stop the slaughter of denim in cities all across the globe, Moses has decided to write a little guide to washing your denim properly… 1) This is the first and most important tip to washing your jeans…DON’T WASH THEM unless you really have to ie: rubbing kebab meat all over your legs or some other non-descript mass spillage. FACT: I have worn many pairs of jeans for 18 months without washing them. If they smell of cigarettes or something more pungent, air them out for a day. If they still smell, wash them immediately because they probably are containing a new strain of the H1N1 virus. 2) OK, now you have come to a point where you have to wash them but you still want that rigidity and ruggedness when you first bought them. You have two options, you either take them to the dry cleaners or you can go to the beach! I recommend that you only dry clean once for the lifetime of the jeans. If you want to go to the beach to wash your jeans, take a dip in them for about 5 minutes, rub dry sand on your jeans and repeat this process about 3 times. When you’re done, just rinse in cold water (no salt) and let them dry in the sun. This seawater method is particularly good at keeping your denim very rigid. 3) Since we don’t all have the luxury of living near a beach and you had no option but to take the dry cleaning route, you will need to do the following for the second wash: Soak your jeans in cold water for about an hour with WOOLITE BLACK, once done, rinse and roll in a towel and then leave to dry. Tip: It may sound obvious to some of you, but I am going to say it anyway: If you don’t want your jeans to bleed (fade), wash them inside out. It might seem like a lot of extra effort to wash your jeans but if you think about it, you will only do this once or twice a year. That has been Moses’s Guide on How to Wash your Denim Properly, let me know how you all get along and if you have any other tips to bring to the table. |
9 Ways 2 Die User ID: 1278102 United States 04/20/2011 10:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In my house, we all wear our clothes for one day and then they go in the hamper. I couldn't bring myself to wear anything, other than my flannel, more than once without washing it. Now, once things change and water isn't as available as it is now (we're on a private well) then I'll consider wearing clothing more than once. I have two young kids and their clothes cannot be worn more than once, they are messy critters. ;) |

Everything else - 1-3 days, depending on how many hours I wore them, if I did alot of activity that made me sweaty or dirty, etc... I usually smell them and see if they smell clean first. If I'm home on the computer all day, my clothes still smell clean at the end of the day. If I'm out in the sun alot, they don't. |

FUKUSHIMA is depositing radioactive particles everywhere.....so keep things cleaner than you usually do. That also means taking off your shoes before going into the house. Don't track that crap inside. Constant cleaning of houses/clothes/living environments is what saved many Chernobyl victims over the years.
