Over-washing our clothes is a common practice that may seem harmless, but it’s contributing to significant financial and environmental costs. According to a recent study, over two-thirds of Britons wash their clothes even if they haven’t been worn, potentially ruining over £440 million worth of clothing annually. Excessive washing not only damages the lifespan of our garments but also increases energy bills and environmental impact. By airing out clothes, targeting specific areas for cleaning, spot cleaning, and employing steam wash cycles, we can reduce wasted washes and preserve the quality of our clothes and the planet.
