    But that’s how I can tell if I can wear something a few more times before I have to wash it again! If I can still smell detergent then it’s still technically “clean”

          So, only wear clothes once between washes?
          I wear jeans and tshirts for a few days between washes. Not days in a row, i chuck them on a clothes horse between wears.
          But when the smell goes from “laundry” to “me” i know i shouldnt wear it again, and it goes into the “hamper”. As long as it isnt visibly dirty or stinky, why wash it?!

            I feel ya, I’ll wear jeans 3-4 days before switching, but tshirts are daily. But I also sweat a lot. Fresh socks and undies each day as well.

      Huh. Whenever I’m in a situation where I have to use a laundry-powder/soap/shampoo/etc with fragrance: if I can still smell the fragrance then I figure it’s still technically dirty, so I need to keep rinsing.
