Default Re: Laundry: frugality vs hygiene

I never really thought about money when deciding when to wash things. It was just more a matter of when things needed to be washed. Shirts, socks, and drawers are worn once, PJs and pants usually 2-3 times, towels are washed after 2-3 uses, sheets are changed every 3-4 weeks (we usually sleep on both the fitted and topsheet, then take off the topsheet at the halfway point) blankets, shower curtains, and throw rugs are done about quarterly.

It works well enough for us...
