This is how often you should wash your jeans

Jeans are among the most popular clothing items in the world today - forever a part of mainstream fashion, and worn by both genders.

Rachel McQueen, a professor of human ecology at the University of Alberta in Canada conducted a study where one of her students wore a pair of jeans for 15 months straight without a single wash.

Most of us are not dirty students, and have the decency to wash our clothes.

I seem to recall a study showing that the amount of bacteria levels off after 14 days...

I wear mine for a week, then wash.

Wear till it gets really dirty or smells funky.

Delighted to declare that I stopped wearing jeans when I was 30. I didn't abandon silly hipster/hippy entirely - still have a pony to this day. Wife overrules me, and it's the only concession I make.

I wear mine for a week, then wash.

Same.

I stopped washing my jeans about 3 months ago. I spot treat the areas that are soiled like the leg bottoms and around the pockets. Hang them on the line to to air out, fabreeze, and hang them up again.

Works for me.
