The Ultimate Guide to Washing Your Clothes: Expert Tips and Tricks

The debate over how often to wash jeans has been settled by cleaning experts. The recommended wash time frame can range from 3-to-10 wearings, depending on personal preference and the condition of the jeans. Some brands suggest never washing jeans to preserve their material and appearance. If jeans still look good and don't smell funky after a day's wear, they can be worn again before laundry day. Washing jeans too often can wear them out faster, so it's best to wash them if there's visible dirt or smell. Fresh-out-of-the-store jeans should be washed separately to prevent color transfer. Spot-treat stains instead of throwing the jeans in the washer, and hang-dry them to avoid damage from the drying process.
