Random - How often do you guys wash/change your clothes?

JPLON

Okay, it's kind of weird but I am just curious. How often do you guys change your clothes and do the laundry?

I live with a couple of guys and after a week, the big laundry basket is already over flowed, and the washer basically gets beaten up because it has to handle doing more than 5 loads... I know it's bad. I personally just wear the same thing once especially for work, because I find it kind of creepy to wear the same shirt and tie for work. Plus I have to change from school clothes to work clothes.

So, how often do you guys wear and/or wash your clothes?

themandan6611

eh, thats work for a woman - ask it in the ladies lounge

Yakult

Mother does the laundry and the girlfriend changes my clothes so you'll have to ask them.

Well I shower every day & wear a fresh, clean set of clothes. I assume that's what most people do.



EDIT: I did share a house with a complete dirtbag a few years ago. I never saw him washing sheets or towels. He washed his work clothes about twice a month, keep in mind he's a tyre fitter/ mechanic/ works in an oily environment.
The smell out of his room was unreal.

Socks are good until you need to buy a new pair. Underpants last a few weeks before other people can smell them. Everything else when I spill something on them.

Latchy

About 3 washs a week and I've plenty of clothes to choose from so changing into fresh stuff is never a problem ...

With you on the first one.

citizen_p

T-shirt
boxers
socks
trousers
everyday

jumpers
every 2-3 days,


depend on activitys etc.... if exercising, spill somthing on them, stains etc.. I will wash everything and it could be 2 sets a day.
but the one jumper will do me 2 or 3 days of just lounging around ie. sitting at home after work.

Socks are good until they can stand up on their own and undypants are good until you notice a colour change and think someone else owns them.

vibe666

fresh socks, undies & t-shirts daily, jeans/slacks last a few days tho.

shower daily before work, not always every weekend day tho if we're not going out and might re-use a t-shirt for 2nd day if lazing at home un-showered that day, but would shower & change if i left the house.

really bugs me having smelly unwashed feckers waft their stench past me when i'm out and about, do they not know water is free in ireland?

It's much simplier to throw them against the wall, when they stick it's time to consider washing them

Aidric

I'd wash all my shirts at the end of the working week. In between probably two or three washes to take care of the rest.

Thats a good tip, what date is it? **checks undypants**......from white to camoflaged....still good so.

deathrider

Bank holidays, and twice at christmas.

Sea Sharp

Socks or underwear, once or twice a day.
tshirts - once a day.
Everything else: If it looks clean and does not smell I'll wear it.

El Horseboxo

Shower twice a day somedays and i have to wash whatever i wear that night. Well i mean i won't wear them again until they have been washed.

That really sucks to have lived with a dirt bag haha! If someone in my house doesn't wash their clothes after a few weeks, I'll just wash it for them because it's either that, or deal with the stench.

phasers

Clean clothes every single day.


I'll wear a pair of jeans a couple of times before washing them though. If you wash them too often you'll ruin them.

And in most places it's potable water too.

Back in the 80's when they tried to introduce some such chages in Dundalk they painted a red X on the mains of customers who were to be cut off. So people just painted red X's on all the junctions.

Socks, boxers everyday
shirts/ t-shirts/Polo shirts every two days
Get a week out of jeans usually.

I have lots of clothes so can easly go a week or more without needing to do a wash. I usually bring them home to be washed too as I'm not a fan of doing it and I'm useless at ironing :pac:

admiralofthefleet

i generally throw my boxers out when they resemble neapolitan ice cream

Hold on now, ironing wasn't mentioned at all before this, thats a whole new thread.

Oh I never knew that. That must have sucked

Princess Peach

Mother takes the wash basket from my room about once or twice a week.

True fact.

jimbobaloobob

nice recovery princess and dont you forget it, i though i was being let go!

FishyFingers

I only have 1 pair of jeans so they never really get washed, maybe once every 4 months or so but jeans don't really get dirty and they don't smell so...

As for my boxers it depends. I usually wait until there are skidmarks and white stains on the front before washing / changing them.

Sometimes if I am feeling really lazy I turn the ol boxers inside out and get twice as long out of them. I wear the skidmarks on the outside if you know what I mean.

I am getting lazier & lazier as I get older u see.

kfallon

Everything gets washed once it's worn for a day! Sometimes I might be crazy and wear a jumper for two days as long as it doesn't smell!

Plus I will prob go home later and throw on a jersey and laze about the house. Chances are I will then wear that jersey to football tomorrow night.

Ghost Train

clean socks every day, other stuff every few days

one load of washing a week maybe

Tar.Aldarion

if i had a shower i didnt cringe when i get into, every day. clothes, every vernal equinox.

kfallon

I only wash me '**** towel' about once a week, tis like cardboard by Sunday :pac:

jester77

Fresh clothes every day, pants I would wear a few times before washing. Shirts and anything that would require ironing I send to the laundrette. Usually throw a load into the washing machine every 10-15 days.

Doyler92

I only have one outfit. But I have about 70 sets of that outfit so it looks like I don't change my clothes. Chicks dig it.

Cupcake_Crisis

If I wear something for a day I was it. Unless it's something delicate, like a lacy top or summit, then i'll drag it out for about 3 wears provided it didnt get dirty!

Korvanica

Socks, underware & t-shirt - Daily
Trousers and Jumper - every 2/3 days

Underwear and socks I would change every day. A tshirt I might wear for two days before putting it in the wash, or else if it gets dirty. Jeans I might only wash once in a while, if they get really dirty. As for washing - I do a big wash every Sunday. Anything more than that is just being wasteful with electricity.

Shower every day.Twice if I'm heading out in the evening.

Change my clothes every day except for work trousers which I usually wear for two days max.

Saila

If I break a sweat..change them if not then keep going until they fail the smell test

What happens if you have a cold and a blocked up nose? The clothes should fail the 'smell test' but because of your illness you actually pass them.....to the detriment of everyone you encounter that day

Or is there a panel of people who conduct the smell tests?

Son Of A Vidic

OP - usually about once a month, but if I'm lazy it can be every quarter.

DazMarz

I change underwear (that is boxers, socks and t-shirt/undershirt!!!) every day.

Jeans I might get 2/3 days out of.

Hoodies/rugby jersey/tops 2 days out of them.

Shirts/polo shirts/polo necks, I'd get one wear out of them usually.

I do at least 1 load of washing a week.

tan11ie

Every night i turn the washing machine on.I put clean clothes on every day - CLEAN FREAK

Azureus

Jammies and lazing about the house clothes can last 3-4 days once im not running around the house/spill anything on em.
Prob do bout 3 washes a week..

I'm genuinely curious to know what an under**** is.

Would hate to see your ESB bill.

NothingMan

Really shocked at people only wearing clother for one day and that's it.

Underwear gets one day, everything else lasts until it smells or I spill something on it.

I have a lot of underwear and a tonne of t-shirts so I put on a wash once every 2 weeks. I'm environmentally friendly. :cool:

I agree especially for things like jumpers and hoodies etc, no reason not to get loads of wear out if these between washes. They are not in direct contact with skin and they are probably hanging on the back of a chair most of a day anyway.

No reason not to get two days out of a shirt/polo shirt etc too imo if your just sitting in the office etc.
