[Closed] How often are you guys washing your commuting kit?

Washing my kit and not wanting to stink makes me a prude? What an odd thing to say.

Every other day except on Tuesdays and Thursdays if I am training as well, whereupon the kit will always need washing!

Socks are merino wool and normally daily.

I always run at least one dedicated bikewear wash per week.

The touring/commuting comparison may not stand up because when touring you often don't wash much for several days, your kit sits damp in a bag in the vestibule of the tent (tempted to use the old fashioned term bell end of the tent there 😉 ) overnight and things are generally much more grotty.... But nothing bad happens.

This is a silly argument. Wash your kit when you want. That's not that often for me. Saves electricity and the load on my already overloaded sewage treatment works.
