I've got some news for you: You don't need to wash your jeans after each wear. Hopefully, this isn't coming as a total shock to you. I hang out primarily with touring musicians and I've been around the touring block a few times myself, so I know this isn't coming as a shock to any of us, but believe it or not, lots of people out there do actually wash their jeans after wearing them only once.
Denim is a tough fabric, guys! Denim should last you at least 4 or 5 wears before you need to wash it. That's part of the reason why blue jeans are so popular after all, right?
Did you know that you can save 240 kwh of energy a year if you just wash your jeans every 5 days, hang them to dry, and avoid dry cleaning and ironing? Yeah. That's a lot. It's the same amount of energy as 4,000 light bulbs lit for an hour takes up.
The next time you find yourself wanting to wash your jeans when you haven't worn them once or twice, why not take some time out to ask yourself why?
