How many wears before a wash?

This is what I find difficult - work clothes often smell of work which OH hates, so I have to change them, but they're not 'dirty' so trousers for example get changed when I get home but then I have to put them somewhere I can get them on again in the morning and have a separate set of cloths for at home, and on top of all this I am incapable of staying clean in even the most sterile environment ... *sigh*

Eels, why don't you buy some of that fabric freshener from the pound shop? A quick spray of that when you take them off and your DH shouldn't notice any pong!

tops, knickers, socks, towels are all one use and wash - trousers and skirts I will make do maybe three times. I wash the bathmat every day too. DD's sometimes wear two or three different outfits a day :eek: Beds are changed once or twice a week, depending on weather etc. There is just me and two DD's and I do at least 8 washloads a week, and I iron everything too!! I now only wash and iron on a Friday and Saturday, which is a bit better, and I treated myself to a Morphy Richards Steam Generator iron which has more than halved my ironing time - I don't know how I managed without it!!

Jeans/Trousers-depends on what i've been doing. But minimum of two wears as long as not dirty
Tops- changed daily
undies-daily
Socks daily

After a bath or shower (usually in evening) will get changed into 'evening' clothes (shorts and vest or similar) which get worn for a few evenings before washing.

Beds get changed weekly except in hot weather when its more often. I'm another one who loves the getting into a clean bed but I have to make sure I've had a bath/shower before doing it otherwise it just don't feel right:rotfl:
