Just curious to know, do you wash toddler clothes after they wear for their nusery after one use? I have been washing after one single use , but they don't seem dirty, I know he bee crawling in floors and all so defo must be dirty but then drying the clothes in dryer all the time is just tying them as well.

To be honest, it's quite unusual that clothes aren't dirty after nursery (or simply wearing for a day) with my children...! 😁

But if clothes do appear clean, I don't bother washing. I just fold and put to one side for wearing again. They'll only wear the same clothes to crawl on a floor another day, anyway... (and presumably the floor is relatively clean, otherwise you'd see dirt)!

Absolutely wash after every use and I'm no clean freak. Nursery's are breeding grounds for germs. Even just the smell of nursery's are horrid I was glad my daughter started primary!

I did up to the age of about 2.5y just because they came back totally covered in food and paint every time. Now dd is 3yo sometimes she can wear trousers and jumpers twice.

I always wash underpants after every use though, one pair per day and one pair per night minimum

Similar here. DC doesn't crawl around the floor or cover themself in food any more so can often get away with a second wear but when younger they always came home filthy!

Wash and hang to dry, better for the clothes the environment and your wallet!🤪

Quit using the drier! So many better ways

As a nursery worker I would strongly advise to wash their clothes after every use

When mine were younger all nursery clothes were washed after one day. They're breeding grounds for germs and filth.

I wash jumpers, trousers, pants and socks after every use by T-shirts can get 2 or three wears (when they're underneath)
