Do You Do Your Laundry Often Enough? | Earth Science 

That was a long freaking video and it hardly answered the question D:

When should i wash my fur, im a dog.

he never answered the question

Perfect timing for college students!!!

Just wear black socks, they never get dirty! In fact, the longer you wear them, the stronger they get!

right after I remove my clothes and underwares I will not wear it again until it is washed and dried

If there's no visible signs of soiling on my clothes a smell test always suffices.

He goes off subject here a bit I don't wanna no why sweat smells I just wanna no how often I should wash my clothes haha

Skip to 3:30 at least to get to the point. What an annoying video.

Underwear / Vests / Tees / Socks - wash every single day. That shit is nasty and should not be worn more than once. Jeans - once a week Pjs - twice a week Towels / Bedding - once a week Shirts - every other day or everyday if you're a really sweaty person or don't wear a tee that covers your armpits inside

What about bed sheets?

sweating out 1 liter / day, that sounds a little difficult for, say, when you live in a very cold, chilly country ^^; easy in hot countries or in a sauna, yes. but unlikely in a cold country.

I just wanted to know how often to clean my clothes, he taught me the whole periodic table...

Humans with normal immune systems, by that I mean regular people who don't work in any risky professions, probably shouldn't worry too much about anything other than smell. Isn't all the washing something that contributes to the rise of allergies and immune sensitivity related illnesses?

I wash my towels after every use

Rule of thumb: 1) Wash jeans after 1 week 2) Wash t-shirts and hoodies after 2 days (or after your work out) 3) collect socks/underwear over the week and then wash em (one pair of socks + underwear only for ONE day!)

Really good and cheap agent for cleaning your clothes (and killing all the bacteria) is sodium percarbonate. It's actually the active ingredient in all of the ‘oxygen action’ products and is way cheaper when bought without the fancy brand name on it (around €1 per kg). Just be careful: it removes really, really well not just stains and bacteria but also colours. So for white clothes only.

i wash my jeans like weekly to a couple days

So the video starts like after 3 minutes

All I really needed to hear is that the smell test works!

When they start not smelling so good.

Please briefly show us your filming set-up.

Question for an episode: "How do vacuum cleaners work, and why aren't quiet or silent ones more common place?

Shirts I wash after one wear and buy new when they break or look bad. Jeans I give a rinse when I feel the need for and a wash every so often when they look dirty usually 1-2 months. Other types of trousers I was when they look dirty. I don't wash clothes that often I just have a fair bit of clothes and can go at least three weeks without washing and still have a fair selection of clothes to wear.

I got some sort of genital zits in college and I went to my Dr. in a panic, thinking I had picked up an STD. Dr. said it was a reaction to my towel being hung in our damp dorm shower stalls. He said it was more commonly encountered in tropical conditions. Yay, no STD's. Boo hiss communal stalls.

It really depends on you, I mean your body reaction to heat and your lifestyle. If you are somewhat non-sweeter and have a really calm life, like no walking for long periods, doing desk job and so on, your clothes should last two to three days. On the other hand if you are a person who sweats a lot, or lives in a hot place, and do intense activity. Probably everyday. IMO, it depends on my perception, I don't like wearing the same shirt twice in row, so I change them everyday, I keep them in a chair which I may use later in the week after one week I wash them, while jeans can be worn for at least 4 days straight since they are all too similar , I have a friend who have this moto 'if a jeans is not proven dirt, it's clean', he wears it until it get stain from something or starts to smell. Underwear should be changed every time you take a shower, it's really weird to put used underwear after having a shower. Socks? Smell test all the way. If your shoes is new they can last for 3~4 days. Jackets, and over-clothes can last for several weeks or even months if they are not in contact with your skin, specially if you are using along with long sleeved shirts. Some heavy jackets, like heavy windbreakers, I wash once a year because they are only used over several layers of clothes and not for long time, no oil/sweet/skin ever get in contact with them, and they are so easy to clean spills that a simple wash cloth can remove any stain, I wash those usually when it starts to get cold, because they stay in the wardrobe for the whole summer/spring that they start to get a bit of smell of mold (the downside of living a humid place).

"Not the only thing you should be washing more than you probably do"? Pajamas? Are there really people who go more than a week without washing pajamas? I would think those are higher on the "to wash" list simply because you spend up to 8 hours in a row in them (and that's if you change right away) every day. Myself, I rotate pajamas roughly twice a week.

I saw a study on bacteria in pockets of jeans, wash after two days tops or don't hang out with me

“And randomly, your eyelids” OMG!!!! GET ‘EM OFFFF MEEEE!!!!👀🏃🏻‍♀️_________________👾

Phssssssht, science thinks it knows all. Listen people, we have had rules forever about this. For guys, in terms of wears. Underwear: Twice MAX! Socks: Twice MAX unless you know you don't have to remove your shoes then maybe you can swing 3 times. Shirts: This is the most variable article of clothing, it depends on your activities in said shirt but it can last 2-4 wears. Pants: 3 times to a 10. There, I solved all your clothing problems in one 30 second read and I won't even make money off of it. (Girls you'll need your own clothes Guru as my experience is limited).

3:30 when should you wash your clothes

After watching 90 seconfs of this video, I paused it and went and took nice 30 min hot bath with a lot of shampoo. Here I am watching the remaining of this video in my pygamas.

And I#m sitting here, washing every Item I own after every use.

socks never reward ever or underwear, jeans have up to one week lifespan it depends what you're doing, shirts can be reworn at max three times.

I'm going to wash my towels...😂😂😂😂

With jeans, it is not just a question of style, but also of longevity. The more often that you wash them the more they will fade and the more quickly they will ware out. If it is just a question of bacteria, sticking them in a plastic bag and putting them in the freezer will kill the bacteria.

Ahem... Sweaters? Jackets? Coats? Slacks?

How often?

Thank God I still live with my parents . They wash my clothes regularly. I have 7 pairs of Socks yup.. you guessed it right one pair for everyday.

I wore the same shirt for 13 months.

Thanks!

I hope I'm never stuck sitting next to you on a trolley

NO ONE here would share a towel with anyone but his lover gal.

I change clothes everyday but my parents think it's too often - reason watched video

I don’t wash my clothes. The worse I smell the happier I am.

I wear my undershirt a week straight before taking it off. Same goes for underwear and socks. I also only shower once a week. I don't do exhaustive exercise, however if I do go jogging, the gym, ect I will shower afterwards. Jeans get washed every 3-6 months, same goes for towels and sheets. Coats are washed every 2-3 years, unless they get a bad stain on them.

Why do you have a bong as part of your background animation? Lol

ive been watching this show for quite a while but i never got what the numbers appearing in the bottom left mean. my best guess is new facts because it seems they appear when you mention something

All clothing should be washed when visibly dirty or smelly. I wash socks and underpants after one use. Shirts can be worn 2 or 3 times. Pants can be worn for a week or two, like 5 or ten times. I even wash my shoes a couple times a year. Humans that are naturally more oily and/or sweaty should just do laundry more often.

interesting, So i wash my Pajamas just right, my jeans too much, and my towels... well.

1:05 bullshit, give me the source. Unless you're extremely active, I don't think you're going to sweat 1L in the office and taking walks

Socks are washed after every wear so is underwear. Pjs are washed after every wear. Pants are 2 to 3 wears shirts 1-2 wears

What do you mean how often should I wash my clothes!? Every time you use them! I don't care what experts say, you should ALWAYS wash clothes after use.

Clothes aren't meant to last forever. Levi's aren't meant to last forever either. If you are an adult male and you move about during your day you may work up a sweat. Do yourself a favor and wash your body and your clothes often. Your clothes may not stink after a week's wear but they will surely smell musty. Wash your clothes regularly and bathe every day using lots of soap and for heaven's sake use a deodorant. If you shower or bathe regularly and rinse yourself thoroughly your towels should last for at least 4 days. Buy good towels and wash cloths; not the ones that are a thin as cigarette papers. Pamper yourself and your partner will appreciate it.

Friend nice explanation but for modern people don't known what toilets used in 1700C

I might wear jeans 2 days before a wash but the norm for almost all my clothing is one use before washing..

I get a good deal of condensation on the inside of my hiking jacket, despite the garment being made of a "technical" fabric that is supposedly "breathable". (Huh! Who do they think they're kidding?) Thing is, I'm presuming the moisture arrived on the inner surface of the jacket in vapour form, having evaporated from my skin as sweat, passed through the intermediate layers of clothing, and then condensed on the cold surface. Surely, the evaporation is the equivalent of a distillation process, meaning the water inside my jacket is not SWEAT as such, but distilled water and therefore free of contaminants, or anything to support bacteria? Neither can it get skin contaminants because of those intermediate layers keeping my skin out of contact.. [??] Certainly the condensation seems pretty much clean and odour free... I just wipe it off with a towel and let the jacket dry inside out. And while I wish it didn't get wet inside, the jacket does NOT smell, not even a little bit.

So at the end I just know that I should wash my underwear everyday... wow that is groundbreaking information

sweat does have a smell

Seriously shirt everyday? Are you using clothes to wipe?

When I wear them once esp. exercising or working

Hey hey :) As a suggestion: I think the text on the screen is too big and too wide. It's not very good to read, if you watch the video on a proper screen. Oh and I'd personally prefer an on screen citation like "[1] Crick et al." instead of just a number next to a (distracting) animation - but that's probably just me ;)

i wash my jeans about once a week.

4:22 "...advise washing towels only after three uses." I didn't get this. He's saying that towels should be washed only after they were used AT LEAST three times (thus if you wash them after, say, 20 uses it's perfectly okay because it was used AT LEAST 3 times.) I know it's a bit pedantic but shouldn't be something like "no more than every after 3 times used?"

When people in videos call out something that you're doing -____-

can you make a vid of spinning top

what is with the numbers in the corner?

Is that a bong above his head?

Use the smell test for socks? Well it turns out my feet don't sweat... No seriously.

"cupping"

Well… Still 25 weeks…Thanks 4 the tip.

Levi's now advises us to never wash our jeans. But what about our T-shirts? You didn't answer that question.

what about pillow sheets

Buzzfeed in one of the source articles. I feel sorry for you

A bloody litre of sweat!...yeah right.

I wash my jeans after wearing them three or four times. Can't STAND dirty clothes.

BL, bring back May.

Well a lot of history but I still don't know how often 😑

a great video for OCD people. make them more Obsessive hell yah.

How about washing your shoes I many days do I wash my shoes

I sleep nude, and have uniforms at work that we pay a company to wash for us. So I hardly ever do laundry. I put clothes on, spend probably about 5 minutes walking to work and then take them off again, same at the end of the day. Then I get home, close my bedroom door, turn the ac on, and take my clothes off. So basically I'm nude all the time. So I wear all my clothes multiple timesbefore washing them. So I go a long time before hitting the laundromat. Oh, and did I mention that I only shower once a week with water only? I only ever use soap on my hands, but never anywhere else. Works for me.

"hydrophobe" does not equal "lipohile"

before they small that bad

We do it everyday

I change clothes twice a day...pants never really get dirty but shirts always need a wash at the end of the week.

So once a year is fine? K great THanks.

regularly? so once a month...

There is no moment when it becomes TOO dirty to wash, as mentioned in the video as soon as you wear it, in about a week it will stink.

50 years later he answered questions

So what was the answer? all I got from that was I should wash my stuff more often than I already do.

I was all my clothes everytime i wear them

Why are you wearing an American Eagle shirt? ( brit lab eh )

this really doesn't help my ocd lol

Sorry sonny Jim, can't do that -- wash my pants rarely. I feel warm all the time, especially my mid area, read crotch, have to wear shorts also in autumn and spring to avoid sweat flowing down my legs like a river. Hence in just a few days time the pants smell like sweat like crazy and I need to throw them in the washimashi. Anyone else wit me?

the true question is how many times can you reuse your used clothes

I wash my pants about once a week unless I sweat a lot or spill something on them. shirts, about 2-3 days. socks and boxers, one day.

"It really honks." I lost it there. 😂😂😂

Here's a fun battle for germaphobes and environmentalists.

some stink more than others, now your own body
