The Definite Answer to How Often You Should Wash Your Jeans

Washing clothes regularly is something we all do without thinking about it too much, but sometimes an item confuses us once we give it another thought. For example, it’s not easy to determine how often your favorite pair of jeans should be washed. Many people do it either too often or too seldom, and here’s how it should be done.

There are definite advantages to not washing the jeans too often. It keeps them looking like new for longer, it makes them more comfortable to wear, and it gives you less laundry to do. However, you can only wear them so many times before a wash is required. A good goal to aim for is wearing them around 10 times before they go to the dirty laundry pile.

Unlike your shirts that require a wash almost after every wear, jeans can be worn around 10 times without the worry that you will look sloppy. If you need to get rid of weird smells, you can use a fabric freshener in between the washes.

Washing your jeans too frequently can make them wear out faster due to the fabric breakdown. When you do wash them, use cold water and skip the dryer.
