How do you folks care for your streetwear?

I'm curious about how often you guys put your stuff in the wash. From tees to jackets and pretty much anything that doesn't require dry cleaning or contains denim.

The stuff I wear normally get pretty smelly after a day's wear becaue of biking all day. I normally have to wash tees after a single day's wear so my tees normally take pretty heavy damage.

I wash T-shirts and polos in the washer/dryer on cold/cold and dry them on medium heat until they are damp, then hang them to dry.

Dress shirts I will wash in cold water and hang them to dry, w/o dryer, then iron.

I usually will air out sweaters, jackets, and the like, but I have a lot of clothes so I don't wear each item very often so I don't really need to dry clean or wash sweaters/hoodies/jackets, just air them out for a week or two in between wears.

I wash everything in cold water, even white stuff.

I do almost the same as Drizzt

I dont wash in anything but cold water. Dress shirts are delicate/low heat dried shortly to the point they're just damp, then ironed. Polos (that I care about) I air dry completely.

I dont sweat during the day (indoors and drive a car) so sweaters & jackets don't need to be cleaned much.

Same as above on the cold water thing, but I air dry everything. Fit is pretty important to me, so I try to aviod anything that can cause shrinkage.

T-Shirts, thermals, button-ups, etc get washed after every use. Sweaters and Hoodies much more rarely, usually just hung up for a day or so. Jackets go to the cleaners every season or so. Hats not enough. I never remember until I am heading out the door and put one on. Ewwww

Yeah I wash everything in cold water and hang them dry indoors. I used to use a dryer but then I realized it was scrapping off fabric so I just stuck to hang drying them.
