OK, all jokes about the dancing aside, this video from the UN Environment Program suggests we wear our jeans 3x before washing, wash in cold, and hang dry. I would wager that goes for most clothes, unless you're sweating, have young kids with ketchup fingers giving you hugs, or farm for a living. I am still trying to teach my kids to check their clothes to see if they're dirty before putting them in the hamper, but they are only 5 and 7. Hopefully adults have already learned this lesson.
