Obviously, if you were doing heavy work in it then it should be washed again as it would smell, but what if you just wore it for a few hours to go to church? I don't like to wash anything unnecessarily because I think washing over time degrades the fabric. Thank you.

Only if they are soiled or smelly. If they are just wrinkled place them in the bathroom to steam while you shower or just iron them. I don't wash an item that is not dirty!

It all depends on what you were doing while wearing the shirt. Going to church is a great example of time to where the shirt again Monday! Working out in the yard in 90 degrees and 95% humidity, time to wash (both the shirt and you). Bottom line, if you have not trashed it with a spill or something, and the armpits smell OK, hang it up to air out which will help it out and wear again.

If the shirt is completely aired out for some time, and wasn't exposed to dirt or grime, washing can be postponed. Don't forget you shed dead skin and body oil when you wear clothes, so don't push it. You're right about wear and tear from washing, but that can be mitigated with wash additives and dryer cloths. There are extremely gentle wash and dry cycles, too. Look into the kind of fabrics you like to wear, and what their propensity is for attracting and holding grime.

If you were going to wear it say the next day..... usually not. But it sounds as if you rarely wear it. So you will want to wash it since though you might not smell anything body oils are there. They will eventually turn rancid (think old cooking oil) and then will never come out. Even if you still don't smell anything the next time you wear it the old oils will atract new ones even more. One thing you might do is gently hand wash it and let it hang and airdry. But more gentle than the washer and dryer.

You may not need need to wash it but spray some fabric deodorant on it to keep if from smells you wouldnt readily notice from perspiration even though you wore it for a few hours. a suggestion would be to only do that twice because after that i think the shirt will now become DIRTY at the cuffs and neck line and also UNDERARM.!!!! sniff sniff!!!

The best thing to do is make sure that when you re iron the shirt not to iron areas where you sweat, that will bring any odor in the shirt out. Either than that you can always febreeze and hang up somewhere either close to a window or where there's a cross breeze.
Good luck.

Any clothing that are worn outdoors my domicile, such as a Walmart, scientific institution, or paintings they're dropped in the laundry on a regular basis. If I only run to my community marketplace and doubtless the post workplace i will set aside in a particular spot in the closet. This area is for garments worn as quickly as. If I take an editorial of clothing off the rack in that area i understand they are going to easily be worn one extra time regardless. My mattress sheets are replaced another day. I only like that frest crisp cotton experience. Pajamas are additionally replaced another day. If I the place them to breakfast i won't have the ability to sleep in them yet another evening. they're put in the wash. this isn't any longer that my clothing are grimy yet they seem or only experience worn after wearing them as quickly as. own products are only worn as quickly as of direction, including socks. Cat and canines sheets are replaced on a regular basis. The beds are made as quickly as a week with 7 suitable covers/sheets (all white so as that they'd be gently bleached.) I eliminate one consistent with day. they have there own laundry basket to get rid of hair getting on my clothing. I too hate to do laundry. I actual have a front loader skill effectual washer. It actual makes use of approximately 30 gallons much less water than a suitable loader and spins issues particularly dry.

I'm a college student.
I usually wear my shirts twice before I wash them.
Hoodies can make it a lot longer.
If you stain something, it's not OK to wear it again without washing.

Well i guess not unless you really did a wear and tear on them the day before. or if they have a bad smell to them, but if you used them and they still look and smell good why not? =)
