Sheets should be washed once a week for the naked sleepers.

And no sheets on your list?

We sleep in hammocks.

[OldTimer]

So how often do you wash the hammocks?

[SpaceLobster]

This is basically me when it comes to laundry.

Jeans: 5 or 6 wearings

Too often, per the expert.

How often should you wash your jeans? The Levi’s CEO settles the debate

For most pieces of clothing, it’s clear they should be washed after a few wears. But jeans can be more divisive, with some even saying to never wash them.

And in parts, Levi Strauss CEO Charles Bergh may be to blame for that. Even though he didn’t quite mean for that to be the main takeaway from an event he spoke at in 2014.

“I never said don’t wash your jeans,” he clarified in conversation with CNBC’s Christine Tan as part of the “Managing Asia” show broadcast last month.

Bergh still doesn’t use a washing machine to clean his denim. “True denim heads, people that really love their denim, will tell you to never put your denim into a washing machine. So that’s what I do.”

Denim lovers often say washing jeans will impact their shape and color, while keeping them unwashed will improve their appearance through creases and exposure to the elements. Not washing them is also said to make them last longer as it will prevent the denim’s fibers from wearing down — which could lead to holes or rips.

But Bergh also doesn’t just leave his jeans to get messy and covered in dirt.

“If I drop some curry on my jeans, I’m gonna clean it. But I’ll spot clean it. And if they get really gross you know, if I’ve been out sweating or something and they get really gross, I’ll wash them in the shower,” he said.

This means keeping jeans on in the shower and covering them in soap as you would your body, Bergh explained.

But, keeping with BG5150’s general thoughts, and motivated in light of ecological concerns

So while not everyone may be satisfied with keeping their jeans out of the washing machine — putting them, and other clothes, in it less frequently may be something to at least consider.

Shower beer with shower jeans???

I was just about to post in the parody threads thread

I can’t say I regularly wash jeans unless they’re soiled.

If I’m not getting sweaty, dirty, being around cigarettes, etc… They go on and they go in the drawer.

If I’m already doing a load of laundry and it’s on the floor it’ll get scooped in with.

[Mathman]

If you’re a hippy, whenever it rains you can just grab a beer and start wandering around outside in your clothes, eh?

Maybe that means there won’t be any more need to wear pajamas between shower and bed.

I’m doing so poorly at a particular iPhone game that it showed me the tutorial again.

[NerdAlert]

I brought my switch to the final baseball game and the battery is dead. Glad my phone is decently charged so I don’t have to make conversation with anyone.

People are the worst. Not you, GoA folks. Other people.

They go on and they go in the drawer.

I hang mine.

[Mathman]

Fancy! I used to kind of stack mine in a drawer, now I fold them differently and put them in a drawer like this:

Wierd!
Weird?

I can never remember which way it is spelled!
