But, as the discussion about climate change continues to heat up, I have felt a twinge of guilt every time I punch the on button of the laundry machine. The question we all need to start asking ourselves is relatively simple: How clean is clean enough? “In this era, we default to wanting perfectly clean clothes,” he agrees. “Even if they're not actually dirty, we often throw clothes into the washing machine almost as a way of organizing the home; it's easier than thinking about it.” So should we be washing clothes less? Should you be washing your fleece jacket as often as an undershirt when you nearly never wash your fall coats?
