Common Mistakes: Things You Are Probably Washing Too Much or Too Little

Most of us like keeping things clean and tidy, but it's important to find the right balance between too much and too little. The standard depends on a few factors. Here are some items that you are probably washing too much or too little.

Too Much: Jeans

One of the most common things we wash too much is our jeans. Some people may wash their jeans after every wear, but it actually can cause them to fade and lose their shape. It's best to only wash them when they really need it, usually after five or six wears.

So next time you're about to throw your jeans in the washing machine, think twice — a few extra wears won't hurt them, and it'll save you a lot of time and energy.
