How often do you need to wash your clothes? A battle is resurfacing online and while people are divided, experts have finally answered.
It started when a TikToker admitted to wearing the same pajamas for multiple nights in a row. Some followers agreed with her and some were horrified.
So, what do the experts say?
You should wash these items every time you wear them: Underwear, socks, tights, leggings and activewear (anything you sweat in).
Some people will dry their gym clothes and wear them again (ew) and that is not recommended.
Bras, another controversial washing item, should be washed after every few wears.
You should wash your linens weekly and once a month items like coats, jackets and jeans.
The main rule of thumb is the same as it is with whether to eat something past the expiration date: Ask yourself, does it smell?
