TipidTip # 29 - Wear your jeans at least twice before sending them to the laundry.



It shouldn't sound as ick-y as that. :)

Jeans are made of durable and thick material so one pair can withstand multiple uses without washing. They were made for miners first, remember? Since most of us don't roll around in the mud or get dumped in a quagmire in a normal day, the thickness of the fabric can be a shield for dust for around 2 uses. But if you get the bottoms wet because of flood water, get them washed, pronto! Your health shouldn't suffer.

Jeans are pretty hard to wash and take up most of the detergent and fabric conditioner. Maximize them before washing. Just hang them after using so that they can be aired out. And it's not noticeable to be wearing the same denims in one week. After all, it's just our trusty maong, albeit in a skinnier form. :)
