To Do Less Laundry

So you’re probably familiar with the concept of a laundry chair aka ‘The Chair’ which is a repository for clothes that have been worn but aren’t so dirty that they need to be washed so they are on the chair til they can get worn. This is an extension of that idea. Say you tend to not dirty-ify clothes too much most days. You can then alternate wearing one set of clothes per day with another set of pre-worn clothes swapping the outfits every other day. Here I have as an example hung up two outfits that could have been pre-worn, pants folded in half lengthwise and hung by the lower rung of the clothes hanger, shirt over that. Theoretically you could hang up limitless pre-worn outfits but for hygiene’s sake I’d probably limit it to 3 sets. The idea is to at the end of the day put your worn clothes on one set, then wear clothes on the other hanger or hangers. It isn’t something for everybody, depending on situation, but if you aren’t looking for perfection, it can reduce how much laundry you need to get done per week.
