A national survey by Wisk revealed that if your family is guilty of these laundry habits, you're not alone. In fact, four out of five people surveyed admitted to at least one dirty laundry secret. Top common laundry behaviors include:
- Going more than a month without changing their bed sheets; in fact, only half of consumers wash their sheets once a week
- Taking dirty items out of the laundry basket to wear, with more women than men admitting to this activity
- Nearly one in three women admit to wearing the same bra for several days in a row, while close to one in three men admit to having worn the same socks or underwear for several days
"Our Wisk survey resulted in findings that would gross out most people, especially when you consider what the build-up of trapped body oils and sweat could be without regular washing, " said Bridgette Miller, senior brand manager for Wisk. "Wisk Deep Clean helps to get out the gross in consumers' laundry by seeking out and attacking hidden body oils and sweat that some other detergents leave behind."
