According to a new poll, 55% of people say they “always” do their own laundry, while 5% never do their own laundry and say “someone else” always does it.
9% of people claim they “love” doing laundry, and another 23% say they “like it.” 12% say they “dislike it,” and another 5% admit to “hating it.”
49% of people say they are totally neutral about doing laundry . . . but 77% of them care at least a little about HOW it’s done. So, they have opinions about mixing colors, temperatures, soaps, or dryer sheets.
How often people do laundry probably depends on the size of their household . . . and the size of their wardrobe. But people were also asked about how long they’re willing to wear something before washing it.
80% of people wash their underwear after wearing it ONCE. Men were more likely than women to wear their underwear multiple times before washing it. And overall, 5% wear their underwear “four or more times” before washing it.
55% of people wash their t-shirts after one use. 10% are willing to wear them “four or more times” before washing them.

19% of people wash their sweaters after one wear. 32% wear them “four or more times” before washing them.
16% of people wash their jeans after one wear. 36% wear them “four or more times” before washing them. (Men are more likely than women to wear ALL of this stuff multiple times.)
