The majority of baby boomers do not wash their underwear enough! That's what an online survey by Mulberry Cleaners revealed recently. The results were published in Reader's Digest.
I have to admit I was very surprised to read the results, which indicated 16 percent of middle-aged folks reported NEVER washing their underwear. Now, 16 percent may not sound like a large number but that's still 16 percent too many, in comparison to 85 percent of millennials who said they toss their undergarments in the laundry after one or two wears. Only 10.3 percent of millennial women said they never washed theirs, which might make sense if these young women had parents who were enablers and never taught them to do much of anything, especially how to wash clothes.
When it comes to washing bed sheets, 43 percent of women said they wash them every week, compared to seven percent of men who said they had washed their sheets only once in six months. But even worse than that is the fact that 12 percent of the men surveyed said they couldn't even remember the last time they washed their bedding. Let's hope, for their sake, they were in a drunken stupor when they took the survey.
About 1000 people participated.
As far as the dirty underwear goes, my question is, why wear any at all if you're not going to wash them?
