febreze is a friend so long as you have no scent sensitivity. I've worked in situations where staff made it known that colognes/purfumes could cause them to become ill and people would accommodate by not wearing it but they totally spaced when it came to using febreze (or downy) on their clothes. for me personaly the sickly sweet smell of those products will trigger a migraine.Jeans (denim) is actually the one things you shouldn't wash super frequently (unless there's visible stains then it doesn't matter if you just washed it you could at the very least spot clean them). It's not necessary and breaks down the denim faster.
Febreze is your friend
the best product i've found as just a standard detergent that works really well getting stains out that also has (for me) the benefit of being scent free is arm and hammer with oxy clean.
it can also prevent someone from catching a mild variant of a disease with minor symptoms which will provide them with lifelong immunity vs. catching the stronger variant which can have much more severe and dangerous consequences. it's fascinating to read of how polio was commonly encountered with little to no consequences in children in the 1800's but the unforseen consequences of advances in better hygiene and sanitation reduced their exposure/immunity so they were at much greater risk when they were subsequently exposed to the more aggressive variant.
when I was in school jeans and 'cords' (corduroy) were pretty much the only pants the guys wore. you could tell whose moms insisted on washing after every wearing of jeans b/c there was a noticable relaxing of the fabric over time. the girls LIKED wearing jeans that had softened so it wasn't uncommon for their new pair to be washed repeatedly right after buying but the guys? I knew several who would activly try to hide their jeans from mom's well intentioned (over) laundering.
