There is a trick to
wearing underwear twice before washing them. No need to wash underwear
after every wear – they are worn under your clothes so who will know?
Besides, who really enjoys washing clothes and are daily showers
really necessary? And don't let me get started on the cost of
detergent. I have a system of rotating clean and dirty underwear and
showers to preserve the appearance of body-freshness.
The crux of my system is to alternate shower days and clean/unfresh underwear days. Change out your underwear on non-shower days. Clean underwear will cover up any body odor and conversely showers will cover up any odor on yesterday's underwear. Additionally, the first wearing of your shirt will also mask any odors on your yesterday's underwear.
Here's my rotation, you may wish to modify it to your preferences or to maximize your savings.
Monday:
Shower – Yes
Underwear A (second wear, (Sunday's))
Shirt A (first wear)
Slacks
Tuesday:
Shower – No
Underwear B (first wear)
Shirt B (second wear)
Slacks
Wednesday:
Shower – Yes
Underwear B (second wear, (Tuesday's))
Shirt C (first wear)
Slacks
Thursday:
Shower – No
Underwear C (clean)
Shirt D (second wear)
Slacks
And so on.
FAQ:
“When I remove a shirt from the closet, how do I know if I'm wearing a shirt for the first or second time?”
That is easy. The first time you wear it, the shirt will be on the hanger with only the top button done to hold it onto the hanger. The second time you wear it all the buttons will already be done because after the first time you wore it, you took the shirt off without undoing the buttons.
“I'm worried I will wear the same shirt twice in a week.”
Not to worry, just re-hang your shirt at the back of the line. Pull today's shirts from the front of the line.
“And pants, how do I know when to wash them?”
You know when they need to be washed when they are fitting very loosely. After you wash them, they will fit tight again (I call it “temporary laundry shrinkage”.)
“I really dislike washing clothes, are there other ways to preserve their freshness?”
You can keep your clothes with a fresh scent by either spraying them with a generic febreeze (I add water to it to make it last longer) or by attaching dryer sheets to your clothes hangers, they hold their fragrance for a long time and pass their scent to your clothes.
“Your tips are so wise and have saved me tens of dollars. May I pay you for your help?”
In fact I encourage you to demonstrate your appreciation by sending a donation to my retirement fund, payable directly to me, Bob Skin-Flynt. And thank you for asking (however, offering to pay for advice kinda defeats the whole purpose, doesn't it?.)
