Do you wash your (secondary school) kids uniform every day?

[Purplturpl]

Just looking for normality check. I have boys so trousers and shirt. I used to wash regularly every day when they were little as they just get muddy all the time. That’s less the case now, but I still feel like I should have clean set every day.

Ours has a clean shirt and trousers every day, but only one blazer and two ties, so they get sponge washed if needed and washed at the end of term.

actually putting the washing away is my bug bear. we each have our own baskets and i quite happily fold in the utility room listening to the radio but getting those clothes into wardrobes - boring!
i like a good pairing of socks. takes me back to my cloth nappy days of sorting, de linting and stuffing in boosters while watching the tele

Clean shirt each day, she has 3 skirts so changes every couple of days. 1 jumper (ideally I should get another) that's washed weekly minimum, blazer at hols

Shirts daily.

Shirt and underwear, yes.
Trousers, jumper, blazer no.

My DS gets:
Clean shirt, trousers and jumper daily. Could not contemplate sending him in the same stuff he's worn the day before. I know some people do but each to their own! Like him to be fresh each day.

Blazer is washed once a week on a Friday evening and hung up to dry ready for Monday morning. Same with school coat, washed on a Friday evening.

PE kit washed after each use.
He has 2 ties and gets a clean one of those every 2 days.
Shoes cleaned every evening as usually come back covered in mud in this weather.

Y10
Trousers every two days, polo shirt was every two days but now starting to be a clean one every day. He's not a football player etc though at break and comes home and changes into gym gear so not wearing it til bedtime

Kids do vastly different things in their uniforms, so some will have all clean every day and some will rewear parts of it.

If you have a kid who either walks a very short distance, or is driven, and then sits in a few lessons and changes as soon as they get back, then you'll be able to go without washing for a lot longer. Whereas if your kid walks a long way and their trousers get a bit splattered in a bad weather/street/mud sort of mess, then they play football in their uniform and/or eats messily or not at a table or sweats loads then they'll need a change.

My son has several pairs of trousers on rotation and a clean shirt every day. PE kit is washed straight after PE. Blazer washed once or twice a week in winter but every other day in the summer.

I wash jumper and skirt usually every time. We have 2, so about twice a week. On occasion, she has to just wear the one from yesterday if clean. Shirts are fresh every day because she’s smelly. I have a set of 5 of those. I do whites for both of them every weekend. PE kit after every use (twice a week).

Genuinely don't think my mum ever washed my school tie in my 5 years of secondary school , I'm going to ask her 🤣
But had clean shirt every day , remember her ironing on a Sunday afternoon, mine , siblings , and my dads shirts for work the following week

Same here! It hasn’t occured to me to wash ds’s school tie yet but he’s only half way through y 7.

my kids have a fresh shirt every day but go through 2/3 trousers and jumpers a week. Ds2 has a habit of playing football and getting trousers muddy so at the moment he has clean trousers every day but ds1 never needed (far less sporty!!)

In prumary school, DD used her tie as board rubber! She's not as grubby in secondary but her tie has definitely needed washing. Hower they don't have jumpers, just blazers, so they are more exposed.

Primary aged kids 5 sets of tops & bottoms Secondary aged 5 tops and 3 bottoms as secondary do not get as messy but hormones make them sweaty beggars

Shirt yes, trousers no.
