Would I be mad to wash 4 year olds uniform after each wear?

Just because of germs and she's been getting sick a lot lately? As in only let her wear it once then wash it?

@TheGirlCat

If she's been getting sick a lot then germ mitigation is a good thing, so yes.
But washing a jumper won't solve that. It's the licking, holding hands , hugging, touching, not washing hands properly, coughing and sneezing that kids do that is causing the sickness.

Not touching a worn jumper :/

I pretty much do, she's got 3 sets. Paint, mud, god knows what on them every day.

My DC age 4 and 6 have 3 sets of trousers/skirts and jumpers each and then 5 white polo shirts as I usually only do one white wash a week.

I’d love to not have to wash their uniforms after one wear, but they are usually disgusting after one day. I feel lucky if they can be salvaged for a second day! My 6 year old in particular is always filthy.
