Do you wear your jeans at least 5 times before washing?

Question

Do you know this is a way to conserve energy and water?

Answer 1

Nope, unless I only wear them for a few mintues (like to run out to the car), they get washed everytime!

Answer 2

I do. As long as they're not dirty or smelly then it's perfectly fine.

Answer 3

it all depends what i do in the if i had been at the park the whole day no i would probally wash them but if i had just been to clean places all day then i would wear them a couple times before wash

Answer 4

Yup.  The stains hide well and the jeans last longer.

Answer 5

i think that is the most disgusting thing I've heard all day.

NO i do not do that and i don't know anyone who does...

i don't care that you can conserve water and energy being clean and looking clean is more important to me

and smoking pot is bad!

Answer 6

Actually I probably wear them more.

It know this a great way to conserve energy and water - plus the more you wear them, the more comfortable they are!!!!!

Answer 7

yes i do.  nothing wrong it.  i never thought of it until u asked the question

Answer 8

No.  I only wear jeans on weekends and when I do it usually involves fish guts.  It would be rather unsanitary and extremely smelly to wait a month to wash them.  I wash my clothes when they are dirty.  Sometimes that is after many wearings, maybe 7 or 8 for "church" clothes and sometimes, especially clothes I wear at the clinic I work in, it is after only a few hours.  I don't believe in wearing other folk's snot to save water.

Answer 9

yes, i wear my clothes at least a couple of times, or until they smell bad before i wash them.

Answer 10

I typically wear them twice before I wash them, but I don't even wash my clothes until I have a full load. If my jeans are clean and don't need to be washed, then I can wear them again. But I have not been able to wear them five times before washing...

Answer 11

As long as they are clean and presentable I will wear them, yes.

Sometimes, one day in a car on a trip is enough.

Answer 12

I wear mine as long as they stay put when I take them off and stand them in the corner.  Once they start trying to walk off, however, I give them a good scrubbing.

Answer 13

No way!!!!

Answer 14

jeans are just getting comfy after the third wearing without a wash.........and I don't shower every day either.

Answer 15

No, as they have been in contact with sweaty places.  You could also not bathe, another conservation idea.

Answer 16

its also the reason hippies smell so bad!!!!

Answer 17

No.  But I could confidently say I wear my jeans three times before washing.  Usually I just throw them in the "clean but used" pile.

I have three piles:

A) Clean

B) Clean but used

C) Woah..don't wear those!

....and then I live out of the piles.  I do this because I usually don't have time to put my laundry away!

Answer 18

ya unless they're dirty. the colors won't fade as soon that way and i air dry my laundry.

Answer 19

I'll wear my clothes as many times as i can, as long as they're not dirty or smell. This excludes undergarments. I do this because I'm trying to conserve water. Others should try this too.

Answer 20

Nice idea! i don't even think about it i just throw them in the wash the next day.

Answer 21

That's gross

Answer 22

You're conserving well. I also do that but not 5 times. I do it atleast2-3 times only. Incase of white jeans, I usually wash it immediately if dirt can be seen, so that I will still look presentable. Conservation is okay, but if you want to look presentable to others then wash your jeans when you see that dirt is noticable. You don't want to be teased by other people don't yah. And make sure that the smell is still nice.

Answer 23

No. To conserve energy and water, you should

turn off your lights when you leave the room.

or if you have to have your television on when you fall to sleep,

you should have it on a sleep timer. For water, take shorter showers, but clean as much as you can. Please, do flush the toilet, and wash your hands all the time. Use a lower volt light bulb in your rooms. If your worried that your clothes are the issue to washing constantly, you should wear your clothes at least twice, unless it is dirty, or sweaty. It's very nasty to wear clothes alot without washing it. and you could get a very bad body odor.

Answer 24

Until they dirty or stinky, yes.

Answer 25

h**l Yeah !

Answer 26

didnt know jeans could be washed.

but it might explain why i have so few friends

Answer 27

I wear mine twice, after that they have to go in the wash!!

Answer 28

Yes, as long as they are technically clean, I will wear them about 5 times before washing.  If they have any stains then I will throw them in the washing machine.

Answer 29

I have yes unless it's been really hot day or they got dirty.

Answer 30

Nothing wrong as far as I see it, and it does conserve. I change mine as often as you do, mainly when they start fitting too loosely and are stretched out or they got specifically grimed and heavily dirtied.

Answer 31

I get really dirty as a farmer so I have to wash every time. But with the jeans I wear for social times I can re wear them several times.
