Full wash with a few items or quick wash and do full wash at weekend?

If the jeans, t shirt and underwear is all dark and cotton, i cant see a problem with washing them altogether.

I wouldnt handwash pants. Id prefer to give them a hotter wash than my hands could bear.

Thats why I chuck them in sink with boiling hot kettle water and swirl them with a tool (as its burning hot to touch) for a minute or to then let soak for a while then drain and add new water.


Even if it doesn't clean them it would help, I don't normally put them back on after they have dried t unless I have an emergency its just as I don't want used underwear lying around, only time I do wear them is say to bed if I haven't found any clean ones and I am doing a wash the next day.


Thats why as well, if I boiled them in such a way as stated im not sure if a normal quick wash would be acceptable.

I tend to soak whites, undies and tea towels in soda crystals and hot water before I wash them. Not together, I may add. I feel the quick wash is fine then, as some of the dirt/sweat etc is already loosened by the soda crystals.

Deka, if you have problems with dye transferring, try using some colour catcher sheets. Wilki*nson's own brand is £1 a box. You just put 1 or 2 at the back of the drum, and they're good.

I wash just do the two fulls washes and not stress about it.


It will not matter if you do one extra wash this week as its an exceptional week (ie going away).

Wearing a pair of jeans all week before they are washed? :eek:

The mere thought brings out the OCD in me
