How Often Do You Wash Your Clothes?

How Often Do You Wash Your Clothes?

Most of us do our own laundry, at least some of the time . . . but a few brave souls out there are relying on nothing but the smell test and vibes.

According to a new poll, 55% of people say they “always” do their own laundry, while 5% never do their own laundry and say “someone else” always does it.

9% of people claim they “love” doing laundry, and another 23% say they “like it.”  12% say they “dislike it,” and another 5% admit to “hating it.”

49% of people say they are totally neutral about doing laundry . . . but 77% of them care at least a little about HOW it’s done.  So, they have opinions about mixing colors, temperatures, soaps, or dryer sheets.

How often people do laundry probably depends on the size of their household . . . and the size of their wardrobe.  But people were also asked about how long they’re willing to wear something before washing it.

80% of people wash their underwear after wearing it ONCE.  Men were more likely than women to wear their underwear multiple times before washing it.  And overall, 5% wear their underwear “four or more times” before washing it.
