Do you wash your nice jeans? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I give them a wash when I first buy them, then never again unless they actually get something on them, which is very infrequent.

This question doesn't apply to jeans you're wearing to work in, and expect to get dirty.

Well, I don't have a single pair of jeans, because I don't like the fabric. Hearing there are filthy pigs not ever washing their clothes because of some sort of a fetish is just disgusting. People don't be stupid, wash your clothes, you're not animals anymore.

There's different frequencies for different clothing items though:

Socks, underwear, sports kit: Daily
Dress shirts: Every two days
T-shirts: Every 3 days
Shorts, jeans, chinos, gloves: Weekly to fortnightly or when they get dirty
Trainers, beanie hats: Every few months
Leather shoes, caps, formal hats:

Different parts of the body produce different levels of sweat, different materials pick it up at different rates. If you're washing all your clothes at the same frequency you're either a clean freak who's apparently fine with wearing socks that very clearly need washing after a day's use but not with wearing other things which are pretty much clean, or you're just wearing out your clothes way faster than you need to

I agree with you. As I never said wash everything at the same time, did I?
