Every day? Once a week?
I wear my Carhartt insulated bib overalls 6 days a week, 12 hours a day and they definitely get dirty.
I started off washing them every night with my base and insulating layer but have started to back off to once or twice a week as the washing machine seems to be harder on them than the concrete dust.
Does anyone have a clue on whether you are better off washing them more or less frequently? I don't want to kill them prematurely.

When i was still welding i would never wash them I would buy new ones. Every time i did wash them the holes would open up and they would fall apart. Now that i am consulting i still never wash them cause they never get dirty.

Depends..... Grease or dirt generally doesn't bother me too much, but sweat or something thats gonna smell is a different story.

used to wash them once every 2 weeks and dont use a washing machine take them to a car wash and use the wand wash, but it also depends on where i was sent to work slaughter house maint, i would wash as soon as i was done the job there, or wast water sewage plants to,

i usually drop them off at the cleaners every couple of weeks unless i manage to get dirty. dirty work usually involves disposables overtop though.
