Jeans can be worn for a solid week right? This article by Sheknows.com says 4-5 wears only. Obviously it depends exactly what you are doing in your jeans as to how dirty they get.
We recently took a 4 week holiday where we required lots of big and bulky snow clothes. We had just 2 suitcases between 4 of us. Let me tell you, jeans were warn more than 4 times. Do you know how hard it is to wash a pair of jeans in a hotel sink? I literally pulled a muscle in my shoulder trying to wring them out. For agitation I would get the kids to stomp on them in the bath. It was like pressing grapes for wine except the only thing coming out was dirt juice.
I can’t live without jeans, I don’t know why but jeans and I have a special understanding. If i feel sick I wear my comfort jeans, if I am working I wear my painting jeans, if I feel sexy (scoff scoff) i wear my tighter jeans. How often do you wash your jeans?
This slew of recent articlea about how often to wash things really annoys me. Why are these people styling themselves as experts?
Washing jeans depends on the cut, material and weather as well as what you’re doing in them and your own hygiene.
If I don’t wash my jeans every time I wear them, they will fall off of me. Wearing stretches them and washing shrinks them back to size.
If they’re visibly dirty, or smell bad– and you won’t be using them for another “dirty” task soon– wash them. If not– don’t. There’s a drought going on, ya know.
For “work jeans”– my father used to say, they don’t need washing until they stand up and walk to the washer by themselves.
I do not wear jeans because I wear pants once then wash them
at the jean store years ago I was told once a month even if you wear them daily
just air them out and give them a good shaking
sorry this is not for me JEANs
