I do about one or two loads per week. But, it's just me and my husband: no kids. As for our jeans, we let them go a LOOOONG time before tossing them in the wash. We judge on the smell factor; if we start to detect funk, in they go. But not before. And you're right...jeans are tough. They definitely don't need to be washed after each wearing. We always do cold too. Actually, I don't think I've ever used the hot water function on our washer... David,

Combine that with my well and it would certainly save money and energy! :-) I do wish I had solar-heated water – maybe someday.

For some reason I cannot make my towels last longer than 4-5 days unless I take them outside every day to dry! Thanks Renee for your tips.
