Washing your jeans too often can alter the color and fit. Each cycle breaks down the fibers of the fabric, causing it to deteriorate more quickly, so you should only wash jeans when it’s necessary.
The frequency at which you wash your jeans depends on your activity levels. In general, you should toss them in the wash after every 10 wears. If you’re someone who does a lot of manual labor, you might want to wash them every three wears.
Bras
To maintain the cleanliness and elasticity of bras, it is recommended to wash them every three to four wears.
However, it does depend on the type of bra. For instance, sports bras are typically worn when exercising, so they soak up a lot of sweat. In that case, they should be washed after just one use. Regular bras can go a little longer.
High-quality bras are expensive, so you don’t want to compromise your garments with excessive washing.
As for any piece of clothing, make sure to follow the care instructions on the label. Some bras can only be hand-washed, while others will be fine in the machine. Before throwing them in the wash, put them in a mesh laundry bag to protect them.
Overall, these simple changes will help reduce the amount of clothes we go through and better our planet.
