Vacation Laundry Is No Day At The Beach

Everyone loves vacation....but what about the packing and unpacking. How many times have you returned from vacation to find you didn't need half the clothes you packed. The clothes you did wear are stuffed in a bag somewhere. Why is it vacation laundry takes so long to finish compared to our everyday stuff. Are we too tired from vacation to get back to routine?

Men and women don't necessarily see eye to eye when it comes to laundry. According to a new Clorox Bleach survey, guys tend to wear a pair of jeans at least four times before considering them "dirty," with men under the age of 30 and over 50 the biggest culprits. Just under 50-percent of the men use the "sniff test" to see if an article of clothing can still be worn without offending others, and one out of eight guys admit they'll wear a pair of underwear as many as three times before putting them in the wash. When it comes to linens, roughly 25-percent of the men under the age of 30 wash their bedsheets on a monthly basis, while women typically put their sheets in the laundry at least once a week. But women have their bad habits as well, which include buying new clothes instead of doing the wash. Single women have a much greater tendency to use this laundry avoidance technique than those who are married. And the proof is in the panties, with over a third of the single ladies admitting to owning at least 20 pairs of underwear.
