I took it to mean people used to wear clothes longer between washes, not just that we do more frequent, smaller loads. It would be interesting to see a comparison showing how much longer an average person should wear the same clothes in order to make hand washing time commensurate with machine washing time.
- coding123 5y agoYeah I re-wear the same clothes a LOT and it still takes way more time.
- charles_f 5y agoAgree with that, but then. I have 3 kids and take care of laundry with a wife who wares jeans a maximum of one day in a row (yeah...), it probably takes me between 1 and 2 hours per week, most of it being the folding and sorting. If I were to wash clothes manually, even say, 4 times less, it would still be hugely more time consuming
