cleaning your clothes regularly is part of a healthy regimen of self-care

you deserve to have clean clothing, live in a clean environment and have good self-hygiene

yes because you'll have to throw them away because they've rotted into stinky rags before you could wash them frequently enough to wear out

erm... yeah? non-leather ones, anyway. put them in a pillowcase to avoid scuffing up the drum and use moderate temperature and a slow spin, freshens them right up.

are you that mainframe hacker guy?

You poors wear the same jeans for 5 days in a row? Wtf

Like, in 5 mos my good jeans might see 5-7 wears total. My shut tier jeans (sub $400) get washed after 2-5 wearings, like once a month, so long as it's sunny.I

Next youll say my bespoke jackets need to be dry cleaned more than once a year because you only own like two jackets.

agreed, but self-care is part of any sensible method to deal with those sorts of issues

which is why it's kind of scummy for jeans companies to encourage a lack of self-care to sell more jeans
