How often do you wash your dressing gown?

Agree with the 'depends' answers.

I don't wear mine much, and never after a bath like a towel, so not so often. Dh wears his straight after a bath over bare skin so there is a good chance some moisture gets into it so i treat it like a towel....twice a week washed.(which actually works out as once a week as he is oly here at weekends

Oh I'm so glad I asked. :rotfl:

I should have known this wasn't straightforward with a definitive answer. I was being a bit thick there I think.

Daughter reckons it should be washed once a week, regardless.

I don't think it gets dirty enough to be washed that often.

She does that annoying thing of trying on clothes, changing her mind then leaving the clothes she took off, lying around in her room. They stay like that for a while then she puts them in the washing. I'm sick to the back teeth of having to wash clean clothes just because they were put in the basket with smelly socks or damp towels etc.

So she's now going to have her own washing basket in her room and she can be responsible for her own washing. We'll see how often she wants her stuff washed then.

Anyway, the dressing gown issue came up during the washing conversation hence the 'market research'.

Thanks all. :beer:

Ah yes, the typical teenage phase with regards to establishing a 'floordrobe'!

I did it, and my eldest neice has already started doing it too (driving my sister crazy! lol). Hopefully, as most of us do, she'll grow out of it soon enough. I do think that having her own washing basket is a brilliant idea! I might suggest that one to my sister. Thanks

Not often enough

I wash mine when I can stand it next to the bed instead of hanging it on the end.;)

This worked for me with step daughter. You will have to put up with the tantrums when an essential item is found not be available as it's still in the basket, and I would recommend NEVER looking in the basket unless you want nightmares. :rotfl:

Mine only gets washed if I spill something on it as I rarely wear it. OH wears his about twice a year so I wash it when it looks dusty hanging on the back if the door.

Ours get washed on good drying days when I have caught up with the rest of the washing!

I used to recycle my eldests clothes and not let on. His attitude has change considerably since being away from home and having to do his own!

Ahh let me share my new technique of doing son's washing -

1 Request laundry basket from son
2 Remove all socks, pants and school uniform to washing pile
3 Sniff/ inspect garment - if passes test shake, fold and make a lovely neat pile.
4 This is the important step so they are fooled - place pile of clean clothes in own room for 2 days
5 - Give child pile of clean clothes to put away

ETA - in asnwer to original question - not enough!
