Laundry is never easy and is one of the most boring things to do. The entire process of laundry is boring. From washing clothes to drying and then ironing, it’s a long and tedious process. Thus, people often look for hacks to make this task easy and convenient. Moreover, while washing clothes, most people wash all their clothes together without considering the fabrics which leads to fabric disfigurement. Read on how you can find a balance between washing clothes to maintain their quality. 

How Often Should You Wash Your Underwear, Socks And Bras?

Before putting the clothes inside the washing machine it is important to know about the type of fabric and the usage of the cloth. Clothes like underwear, socks and undershirts need to be washed after every use, while bras can be worn 3-4 times before washing. This is because underwear, socks and undershirts are in close contact with your skin and thus are prone to sweat. Washing them regularly keeps them fresh every time you wear them. If the weather is hot then you should consider washing your bra every two days. Moreover, women's lingerie is delicate so it is better to wash them by hand rather than in the washing machine. Also, dry them indoors to protect them from sunlight.

How Often Should You Wash Clothes You Wear Daily?

Clothes like jeans, sweaters, and jackets are made up of strong fabrics and thus they don’t need to be washed daily. You can wear them multiple times before washing them. However, if there are stains on the clothes, make sure to wash them as soon as possible. You should wash your shirt and blouses after 1-2 wearings, dress pants or slacks after 2-3 wearings, workout clothes (how to choose the right gym clothes) after 1 wearing and sleepwear after 2-3 wearings.
