8. How often should you wash your clothes?

Mar 2020

I put on clean clothes every single day, which is apparently a bit odd in many circles. I also take a shower every day, which is likewise not as common as I thought it would be.

And I've been doing this for decades, long before the Corona Virus.

I am frankly horrified that people who have a place to live and access to a washer and drier don't do the same. But even if I had to take my clothes to a laundromat, I'd still be putting on clean clothes every day. If I were homeless, obviously I'd be wearing the same clothes longer.
