To ask how often you wash worn items?

I have a drawer for lightly worn jeans/jumpers. Anything next to skin (except jeans) is washed no matter how brief the wearing. But i don't change multiple times per day.

Underwear, hosiery, shirts/tee-shirts, pyjamas, daily, jeans 4-5 wears, dress trousers twice, and dresses (worn over slips and not sweaty), jumpers, hoodies Etc. not worn directly in contact with pits and bits are hung up to air (with a spritz of fabric freshener), then hung back in wardrobe with hangers reversed to be worn once more… don’t like stuff on chairs!

Amazed at pp only wearing jeans twice. I am obviously a skank 😁

My standard uniform is jeans, a plan t-shirt and a shirt half buttoned up.

I wear the jeans for most of the week. The shirt I generally wear 4/5 days because I only fling it on when I head go out on basic daily outings/meetings and take it off when I get home. The t-shirts I change daily so they go in the washing basket at night.

I keep the jeans on a chair in the bedroom and the shirt goes over the back of a dining room chair. Sometimes I'll change my mind on the shirt and I might put the first one back in the wardrobe if it's only been worn out once or twice. If not, I might have them both on the back of the chair until they're ready for the washing. There's always a t-shirt underneath so they dont get smelly.

Not gonna lie, if I don't leave the house for 2 days, sometimes the t-shirt goes that long too.

Pants, socks, t shirts - once
Bras, pjs- a few days
Jumpers, trousers - til they are dirty or smelly!

I just fold them on top of my chest of drawers. Usually have two pairs of trousers or jumpers going so can alternate a bit over the week.

I hang things up on a coathanger or over a rack on the radiator to 'air' them, then put them away in the wardrobe or drawer the next day.

I'm not sure why, but taking something off and folding it up or putting it away straight away feels slightly weird (DISCLAIMER: am not weird and I use towels many times before washing them).

I think for me it's the worn once smell going on the properly clean stuff. But yeah it's daft 😂

You wear socks twice?? Surely not?

It's ridiculous but I do this too, and I get super pissed when my husband puts worn once clothes back in the kids drawers. I got a basket for "worn once" stuff , it even says it in it... but it never gets used as such as my family don't understand my ridiculousness

My mother said, underwear wear and wash. Tops air carefully folded then placed in the cupboard. Skirts wash weekly but fold and air. Old man's shirts carefully fold and back on the hangers in the airing cupboard before returning to the cupboard

We too have a chairdrobe. Hate it but we've previously had clothes moths and carpet beetles (old house, both were in situ when we moved in) and it is advised to not put worn clothes back in drawers/wardrobes because sweat attracts them.

To answer your question:
Knickers, socks, vest tops, t-shirts: 1 day
Jumpers: 1-3 days (sniff test under the arms)
Trousers: 3-4 days.

Underwear and socks daily wash, the rest trousers usually 2 maybe 3 days tops 2 days unless the kids mess it lol

@ApolloandDaphne

you're not supposed to as it attracts moths.

@erandge

knickers socks bras straight in the wash

leggings/t shirts if I've worn them all day, straight in the wash, otherwise on top of a low shelf unit.

jeans usually twice, I'd wear them more except a medical condition makes me smell like biscuits (could be worse) & I worry it will smell 'off' to others. Prior to this 3/4 times.

cardi/jumper etc until they feel they've been worn long enough!! No idea how many times as it might be half an hour or a whole day?!

I have an open hanging rail these go on & i usually just wash them on a nice day for drying rather than at a specified amount of wears! When there are no nice days, wash & put on the airer when i just feel they've been worn enough.

I've always put worn clothes back in the wardrobe and have never had a moth in all my 61 years!

@KnickerlessParsons

you shouldn't put worn clothes in wardrobes because it attracts moths.

The floordrobe. Drives me mad but I can’t put things back in a drawer once they’ve been worn.

Pants and socks one wear then washing basket.

Bras two or three wears.

Jumpers and cardi’s a good few days or until they are dirty (I sniff test but they don’t smell too bad as not next to skin)

I allow myself a small pile of worn once other clothes. T-shirts, skirts, jeans, tops. I keep them on top of my bedroom stool to separate them from totally clean stuff in the wardrobe and drawers.

I make myself wear them rather than dipping back into clean clothes when the pile reaches three of anything.

Even if I don’t fancy that colour that day or whatever.

If I don’t the pile just grows and gets too heavy, causing creases on the bottom items - and then I defo don’t wear it again!

What's the the thing at the end of the bed called? Not a headboard - guess it's a foot board? We have a wooden framed bed with a foot board. Mostly things that I want to wear again are draped over that.

Knickers and socks are worn once. T-shirts depend on what I have been doing. I quite often wear the same one two days running, but not if it smells of cooking or sweat. Trousers, leggings, cardies and hoodies I wear them until I think I really ought to wash them and wear something else.

I keep a drawer specially for “in use” items, but i prioritise these items and wear 2-3 times before washing.

The odd dress that I wear twice just goes back in the wardrobe with the hanger facing the other way, and I’ll pull it out to wear again the next week before washing.

If you’re just going to dump it down the side of your bed, you might as well dump it in the laundry basket and be done with it.

Ah, the medium pile.
It is destroying my house tbh.

Tops, bras, socks I wear twice
Knickers once
Trousers/jeans I wear a handful of times or until they're visibly dirty
Gym stuff once unless I didn't sweat

Mine go to the in between place eg I have 6 or dresses for work. Wear once then hang up away from the clean clean stuff ready for 2nd wear. Washing stuff every even brief wear is insane and clothing must look old quickly.

I put mine over banister and wear next day if they've only been on a couple of hours.

Get a little rail/rack and hang worn stuff on there so it's airing, rather than shut in the wardrobe.

Yes i do similar except i hang mine on the back of the door or on the towel rail in the bathroom.
