How often do you wash your dressing gown?

Got to be once a week, every Sunday, all the beds, windows opened attack! OMG how sad am I lol

My daughter would live in her dressing gown if she could, if she's in the house the dressing gown is on, she's been like that since she was little and she's 18 now. It's bright pink so it normally gets washed whenever I've got a "pink & red wash" so roughly about once a week.

Her dressing gown is affectionately known as "stinky pinky".

You are seriously short of something to do.

Yes I was bored whilst waiting for the Memsahib to get ready for town so I thought I'd treat you to a bit of my scintillating wit - or anything that rhymes with it.

I guess it depends what you do with them. I have a seriously heavy duty winter dressing gown (gift from a kind friend years ago) which I wear over clothes about half a dozen times over the winter months when it's really cold. I can't eat or do housework in it because the sleeves are too long so it's purely for watching tv in and I don't think I've ever washed it and I've owned it 10 years or so.

I have a towelling one as well that again was a gift last year but I've never got into the habit of wearing it except if we have visitors and I need to make a quick escape from shower to bedroom. Again never washed.

I do have a waffle one I wear a bit more often and it does get washed but then it's fairly light material and dries quickly.

And do people really change their underwear more than once a day? Aside from doing sports etc of course. I wouldn't consider changing unless I shower which I would only do if either I've done something sporty or if I'm going out for the night....

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:

I feel your pain......:D

Reminds me of when DS2 was a babe. His Dad was away working and DS was missing his Dad at night as he always did the night feeds and cuddle (obviously wearing his Dressing Gown). I was desperate so snuggled DS wearing his Dad's stinky gown and it did the trick - asleep in seconds. Works a treat for the doggies now although I always wash it before OH arrives home:eek:

If oh goes away I can only sleep wearing one of his dirty shirts for the familiar smell.
