How often do you wash your clothes and underwear? Do you wear your jeans for a week or even a month before washing it? What about your bed sheets? How long do you use them before soaking them in water? In this post, you will find some recommendations from the American Cleaning Institute for when it’s time to wash sheets, jeans, shirts, socks, underwear, and other items.
When to wash what:
Bed sheets: At least every two weeks, more often if you sweat a lot.
Pajamas: After 3 or 4 wearings (if you shower before bed, you may get a few more).
Towel: After 3 or 4 normal uses or more frequently if you play sports.
Socks and underwear: After each wearing.
Bras: After 2 to 3 wearings.
T-shirts, tank tops and camisoles: After each wearing.
Dress shirts and khakis: Can be worn a few times before washing unless you are sweating or they are visibly dirty.
Jeans: Can typically be worn 3 times before washing.
Leggings: After every wearing to get rid of the baggy knees.
Bathing suits: After every wearing.
Whites and silks: After every wearing because they’re prone to discoloration.
