I'm having an arguement with my host sisters. They say that after wearing a sweatshirt casualy for 5 days it should be washed. I say atleast 10 days. Please settle this... Thanks +k

as long as its casual wear and you'll be wearing a clean shirt underneath it, i dont see why a sweatshirt couldnt stay clean for a month

I wash mine every 7 days - a week. Unless you're into some grimy shit all week, 5 days is too soon.

I don't wash sweatshirts because if you do so, they loose the ability to be soft. And an ability not to loose is to be soft. Seriously if you wait long enough (couple months) the dirtyness will go away by itself, just like the smell.

the real question is, how long do you wear jeans before you wash them?

ill throw my hoodie into my laundry probably every two to three weeks just because im doing mass amounts of laundry around then. i could wear it longer but its a white hoodie and the cuffs get pretty dirty.

just have to be wearing a clean shirt under it. its like a jacket... you wear those all winter without washing them so...

I try to go as long as I can before I wash my hoodies. I only wash if I spill something. I would say 30-60 days with exceptions. Washing fucks them up and makes them not soft and stuff, I hate it

I wash my jeans more often than my hoodies.

I wash my hoodies when they get dirty, and that can take up to 3 months.

i say until it has a noticeable spot on it or until it starts to smell.

i have a sweater thats dry-clean only and wear it all the time,  i wore it for about six months without cleaning it then i finally brought it in to the dry-cleaners.          it probably didnt even need to be cleaned but the sleeve got wet with beer one day so i brought it in.

there is not simply "clean" and "dirty". these are too black and white. there exists many shades of gray between these two extremes. gradients of funkiness, if you will.

depends on the sweatshirt, I've had several hoodies that I've never washed, and I've owned them for a few years. others I wash rather regularly, mostly because they get dirty because of wearing them biking.

Depends, probably a week or more depending on what you do. At least a week though. Up to a month.
