How Often Should You Wash Your Clothes?

Most of us just use common sense to decide when an article of clothing needs to be washed (although some stinky folks could probably use a refresher course), but what does science have to say about when we should wash our clothes?

Allow Greg Foot of Brit Lab to elaborate on the topic of washing clothes, starting with why it's important to wash them in the first place (aka the gross part), and then finishing up the chat by solving the mystery of when we should wash our jeans.

You have to find a balance between staying fairly sanitary and making your clothes last. What wears them out is laundry. Kids will wear something once and throw it on the floor so it's dirty even when it's not dirty. Drives me crazy. See that lint filter? That's where your favorite jeans are going! And don't get me started on kids who think their quilts have to be washed just because they're too sorry to use a top sheet.
