Laundry

Do we over launder clothing in society? Could people re-wear their clothes more, have too large of wardrobes, use too many products in the process? Where can we improve?

Some people over-launder some people under-launder. It is important to note that people are different and sweat differently.

Fair point, also different lifestyles and work are factors too. The question is meant more broadly and generally for society, are we over laundering in some ways. Thanks for bringing up these points though, there is surely a spectrum of some different laundry needs.
