I never wear anything again without washing it first. (except coats)

That's what I do. I think I read

I learned that on these forum a long time ago.

I just air out my clothing overnight... and wear many more times. I am so clean that my clothing does not really get dirty... I do not sweat, or smell. Maybe I am fortunate. everything just goes together... no seperation needed...

I also don't smell or have body odor @SeaMaiden so I'm able to wear things more than once.

Color me confused. Posters hang once worn garments away from freshly laundered items as if some cooties are going to have a field day in the closet jumping from blouse to blouse. Yet they have no problem putting that once worn item (which might or might not be infested with those cooties) back ON THEIR BODY.

It's not that they're contaminated. I just like to know I've worn it once, because two wearings warrants laundering no matter what.

I see. Some of these systems would never work for my closet aesthetic. I hang clothes by category, then style (i.e. woven vs knit), next by sleeve length and finally by color. To get garments out of order would give me closet anxiety.😄
Some of our differences might be attributed to geography. If someone has a closet full of woolens, cashmeres, etc, chances are we can get more than two wearings from a garment.
Both dry cleaning and laundering are very hard on fabrics. And then there is the whole issue of plastics being emitted into our waterways from laundering polyesters, nylons, rayons, etc. These plastics can have a harmful effect on our health.

@house_cat Why? Are you on a farm mucking the stalls? Maybe I could understand then....

I put them back on the hanger if it was a hanging item then I clip the hanger on the few extra hangers I have in my closet. The item is facing toward me while all the other clothes are facing in the regular closet formation. That way I know the item can be worn again and possibly needs a touch up with the iron.

Something I should have mentioned - I was reminded last night when I got home. I was wearing a white cotton top.
If my clothes are "sweaty" .... I hand wash them as soon as I take them off. Perspiration can damage fibers.

Pants - I carefully put them on the pants hanger and hang them separately on this over-the-door hanger rack.
