How often should you do laundry?
Your laundry schedule may vary depending on what you’re washing. Items like bras and underwear need more frequent washes than jeans and bedding. Depending on the size of your household and your family’s activities, you may want to do laundry once every other week. Large capacity washers can help you care for more laundry at once, allowing you to stretch your laundry schedule further when needed.
How often should you wash towels?
Towels should be washed after every three uses or so to keep them looking and smelling fresh. Towels and washcloths come into close contact with your body and absorb water with every use, and washing and drying them in high temperatures can help prevent bacteria growth.
How often should you wash bras?
Bras are delicate garments that need to be laundered with care, and you should wash your bras after every two or three wears. Bras are made with fabrics that can stretch over time, so it’s important to wash them in cool water and avoid over-drying them. Always air-dry bras or lay them flat on a drying rack.
How often should you wash jeans?
Jeans can typically go longer between washes as they’re less likely to come into contact with soils and sweat. If you wear your jeans mostly indoors, you can wash them every few wears. However, you may want to wash your jeans more often if you wear them in warm weather or while working outside.
How often should you wash your sheets?
Bed sheets can quickly accumulate germs, sweat, body oils and other debris from daily use, so washing them regularly is important. To keep bed sheets crisp and clean, they should be washed at least once a week—or more frequently as needed.
How often should you wash your pillows?
Unlike pillowcases and sheets, your actual pillows can go a little longer between washes. To help remove bacteria, oil, dirt and dust mites that build up over time, pillows should be washed at least twice a year.
