Doing laundry is part of everyday life—but how often should you really wash items like jeans, towels, and bed sheets? At Stone Drive Coin Laundry, your reliable self-service laundromat in Kingsport, TN, we’re here to make laundry day easier with clear, practical advice.

Here’s a quick guide of general recommendations to help you wash smarter and more efficiently.

How Often Should You Wash Jeans?

Every 4–6 wears (unless visibly dirty)

Jeans are built to last and don’t need washing after every wear. Over-washing can cause fading, shrinking, and unnecessary wear.

Tip: Wash jeans inside out in cold water to preserve their color and shape. Our commercial washers give them a deep clean without the damage.

How Often Should You Wash Sheets?

Every 1–2 weeks

Sheets collect sweat, body oils, and allergens. Regular washing keeps your bed fresh and can improve your sleep quality.

Tip: Use our high-capacity machines to wash full sheet sets, blankets, and comforters all at once—no need to split the load.

How Often Should You Wash Towels?

Every 3–4 uses

Towels hold moisture, which creates a breeding ground for bacteria. If they start to smell, it’s definitely time to wash.

Tip: Use hot water and dry towels completely in one of our high-efficiency dryers to keep them clean and fluffy.

Other Laundry Guidelines

Underwear & Socks: After every wear
Workout Clothes: After every wear
Bras: Every 3–4 wears
Pillows: Every 4–6 months (check care instructions)
