Household Items That We're Washing Too Much, Or Way Too Little

Don't Dunk The Denim

You’ve probably heard this before, but it’s still surprising how many people don’t realize jeans don’t need washing after every wear. Denim is a tough, durable fabric designed to last, and overwashing can wear it out or cause your jeans to lose their shape. Plus, wet jeans are heavier than most other clothing, adding unnecessary weight to your laundry load

Unless you’re working in a messy environment like a construction site—where sweat and dirt demand a quick wash—your jeans can go longer between washes. For everyday wear, like running errands or casual outings, you can easily get multiple wears before tossing them in the machine. Did you know airing them out or spot-cleaning can refresh your jeans without a full wash? By washing less often, you’ll save water, energy, and keep your favorite pair looking great for years. Isn’t that a win-win?
