The Cellar - View Single Post - How Many Times Do You Wear a Pair of Jeans Before Washing?

I agree with the majority of posters to this point. When visibly dirty or smelly--wash. But unless I've gotten in a real mess, I can get a week's worth of wear from a pair of jeans if all goes well. I make it a point never to impede their progress to the laundry chute if their dirty enough to make it there under their own steam.

However, there are young'uns 'round here that will send off to the wash a pair of jeans that has been worn 0 times (choice not available on your poll, wolf), claiming "they're dirty" when it's really because that's easier than folding/hanging/putting away. At the other end of the scale, I've interrupted the trip to school when the jeans were too dirty. They have a much wider range of reasons to justify washing/not washing.
