do you wash dress shirts every time you wear them?

just wondering because every time the whole thing is still clean except for the neck area, which seems to pick up grime especially well.

yes. everything i own i wash after 1 wear except for sweatshirts. sweatshirts i usually wash every 3 wears unless i spill something on them because there a pain in the ass to drip dry.

two wears most of the time. however, it does look like i'm gonna have to stop wearing some of my fave dress shirts, more so due to fading from the iron&washing

i always wear them with an undershirt, so if i only wear it 1-3 hours then i hang it back up. if i wear it a whole day, then i wash it

About twice. I dont sweat that much so they're usually clean after the first wear

Usually wear them twice... only once if the collar is dirty after the first use, especially after a long day. Yes, I wear undershirts.

When I wear dress shirts, I generally don't do things that would enduce sweating. So...they're generally clean when I'm done with them. I'll wear them atleast twice before washing, unless noticably dirty.

Depends...usually yes. If it was only worn for a couple hours and looks good still...I may give it another iron and hang it up.

Otherwise it's tossed in for washing.

The cleaners loves me. Every time I go I bring about 9-10 dress shirts in and a few pairs of slacks. Wash the dress shirts after every use, and the pants after every 2-3 uses.
