The team at Pop Sugar have put together a general guide on how many times you can wear items of clothing before throwing them in the wash:
- Bras: After three to four wears
- Underwear: After every wear
- Socks: After every wear
- Jeans: Five to six wears. Some say you shouldn't wash them at all
- Dresses: One to two wears
- Pants, skirts, and shorts: Three to four wears
- PJs: Three to four wears
Back to the spray - I would give it the thumbs down. There’s just no way I’d be able to wear something that’s already dirty. Just knowing that it hasn't gone through a wash would kill me.
