## 🚿 Most Do This Wrong: 10 Things You’re Over-Washing (And Why It Matters)

Washing things regularly is a good habit — until it becomes *too* much. Believe it or not, some of the everyday items you’re scrubbing or laundering too often could be getting damaged, worn out faster, or simply wasting water and time.

Here are **10 common items** people are over-washing — and what you should do instead.

—

### 1. 👖 Jeans

**How often you’re washing:** After every wear
**How often you *should*:** Every 4–5 wears (or when visibly dirty)

**Why:** Over-washing fades denim, weakens fibers, and changes the fit. Spot clean stains and air them out between wears.

### 2. 🧺 Bath Towels

**How often you’re washing:** After every single use
**How often you *should*:** Every 3 uses (if properly hung to dry)

**Why:** Towels need time to fully dry between uses to prevent mildew. Over-washing wears them out and fades softness.

### 3. 🧥 Jackets & Coats

**How often you’re washing:** Every week or two
**How often you *should*:** Once or twice per season

**Why:** Outerwear doesn’t need frequent laundering unless it’s visibly dirty or smells. Over-washing can ruin waterproofing and linings.
