"'People tend to stick to the routines they're used to,' explained Gwil Snook, Washing Machine Expert at AO.com. 'But a lot of the time those habits don't match how clothes are designed to be cared for, or how washing machines are designed to help you get the most out of your clothes.'"
"'Jeans are one of the most commonly overwashed items, as people think that washing them regularly will help the denim to stay structured. In reality, they don't need frequent washing, and wearing them multiple times actually helps preserve their shape and colour.'"
"AO.com's survey revealed that hoodies were next on the list, (65 per cent wash too often) followed by jumpers (51 per cent)."
Experts recommend washing jeans after 10 wears and hoodies after six or seven, unless visibly dirty. Socks and underwear should be washed after each use. Many people overwash jeans, believing frequent washing maintains their structure. A survey of 3,000 Brits revealed that 79% wash their jeans too often. The survey also indicated that 65% wash hoodies too frequently and 51% wash jumpers more than necessary. Understanding proper washing habits can help preserve clothing quality and reduce unnecessary laundry.
