Okay, I know that it may sound strange, but I'm dead serious.
I don't have smell sense. My nose is not working properly. Even when something smells really strong or terrible I just can't feel it.
Because of that I don't know when do clothes become smelly, so I'm hyper paranoid about it and wash them frequently (thus they get worn off really easy).
I wash every day, keep up with hygiene, use deodorants and antiperspirants etc. I'm not smoking.
After what amount of time it's time to wash jeans or hoodies if they're not dirty?
How strong do clothes absorb smells of surroundings?
If I don't sweat during the day, can I air my shirt out on balcony for one day off and use it again without huge odor?

Its really hard for your own nose to pick up on your own foul scents, compared to how other people smell you.
One way I check whether I should wash an item of clothing or not is by putting my nose right into the fabric and sniffing, then comparing that to a freshly washed or unworn (since washed) piece of clothing. If there is too great of a scent difference between the two, it is a sign I may need to wash it.

Thanks, but like I said - I can't smell ANYTHING, so I won't recognize it that way.
I just hope there is some general "rule of thumb" to it. 'Cause I'm sick of asking my friends if something that I wear ain't smell right, and I bet
they have enough of it too.

There kind of is already:
- Generally you can wear jeans for weeks or even months at a time without washing unless you spill shit on them or get them dirty etc.
-Socks should be changed every day
-You can pull of T-shirts for up to two days without needing to wash if you dont sweat a ton, one day if it is a lighter color
-Same goes for button down shirts
- Jumpers/ sweatshirts/ hoodies I wouldn't wear past a week without washing personally
-Same goes for most other types of trousers that aren't jeans.

Thanks, mate. I would never even think of wearing same socks two days in a row tho.

What about bedsheets?
>>12334971
Probably wash bedsheets once a week or else you will get pimples :(
>>12334971
Once a week obligatory.

I haven't washed my bed sheets or my towel in what is nearing 6 or 7 months

Maybe it's because I was raised in an Asian household, but all this bedding stuff is going over my head.
I get that you're supposed to put a sheet under the comforter or whatever, but holy fuck is that a pain in the dick. It never stays in place and 9 times out of 10 it's too fucking hot so you just throw it off only to throw it back on.
