They also changed out of school uniform as soon as they came home and wore whatever they changed into for the week. If I only wear something for a short time, like today, good clothes for just a couple of hours, then they are worn again before laundering. Wayne has a fresh set of clothes every day but his job is grimy work. I guess it depends on your lifestyle as to how often you need to launder clothes. Just making sure you have a full load helps. I often save whites for a week or 10 days until there is a full load.Cath Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12982092492622482815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-67167224402674641192015-10-29T11:51:32.564+11:002015-10-29T11:51:32.564+11:00Regarding washing, I am amazed how many people wit...Regarding washing, I am amazed how many people with quite small families do washing every day. When I looked after my granddaughters while their parents were away on a special trip I was astonished that each day, the school uniform dress was thrown in the wash basket and a fresh one put on next day. Then the clothes they changed into also went in the basket - after being only worn for a few hours. I would never wash my own clothes after just one wearing (apart from undies of course), unless I had been outside in the summer and got really sweaty. So re-assessing your clothing/washing habits could save heaps on soap powder and electricity.Judithotterynoreply@blogger.com
