Does anyone really know?

This will be the best kept secret.

Have you even stopped to think about it? While it's true that every garment has its own label, which explains the care you should take with it, such as how to wash it, these rarely mention a basic detail to ensure the garment remains in optimal condition: how often it should be washed.

And if, upon reading the title, you found the idea of someone taking the time to write an article about this topic curious, I invite you to sit down and read it and count how many of these items you are washing incorrectly.

Number one, an everyday basic, jeans loved and worn by all should be washed every two weeks so they don't lose their color and shape. The recommendation so you don't feel like they're dirty is to clean them with a wet wipe on the small parts where they could get dirty during the day and spray them with a little alcohol after the first week to avoid bad odors.

Number two, the favorites of autumn and winter , sweaters , these should be washed every 3 to 4 times worn , ideally they should even be washed by hand to prevent the washing machine from destroying applications or points depending on the type of sweater. Once washed, it is advisable to hang them with clothespins. This will prevent them from hanging as they usually do when we hang them on hooks to dry them. Avoid this serious error and you will see how your sweaters stay beautiful for longer.

Number three loved by many hated by many others the bra These should be washed every 3 or 4 weeks to avoid losing their shape. It is recommended to wash them by hand and with cold water, as this will keep the cup firm for much longer. In addition, washing them by hand will prevent them from becoming filled with lint and fluff.

Number four, the best friend for the cold seasons , coats, these should be washed once per season since once per season is when we really use them, you can give them maintenance, especially the sleeves, with a wet wipe every time you use them, they can be washed without problem in the washing machine with cold water and on a delicate cycle.

Number five, a classic color that suits every woman on planet Earth. White clothes, the rule of less is more does not apply to these, because white is a color that does not forgive or hide any stain, no matter how small, so this is the rule: white clothes. They are washed every time they are used .
