Stop washing them every time after you wear them.
- speed_spread 4y agoAnd when you wash them, hang them dry afterwards. That fuzz in the dryer lint trap is your clothes disintegrating slowly.
- Finnucane 4y agoI have to agree with this--a few years ago I started getting into the habit of putting more of my clothes on a rack (esp. anything cotton) and less through the dryer, and no question clothes last longer that way.
- hilbert42 4y ago"That fuzz in the dryer lint trap is your clothes disintegrating slowly." Right. Always impatient, I have worn out far too many clothes in the dryer instead of waiting for air drying (dryers are a conspiracy by manufacturers to sell more clothes). ;-)
- neogodless 4y agoYou made an incorrect assumption! I wash them after about 2 weeks of wear, or when they get pretty visibly dirty. (The drool from my mastiff doesn't count, or they'd be washed every 15 minutes.) I will say, "a year or two" is an exaggeration for some of my jeans. But I usually only have 2-4 pair with no holes that I rotate between, and most develop wear in the knees if not outright holes by the end of 2 years.
