Andy Lee’s Laundry Confession Sparks Aussie Debate: ‘Unlimited Wears’

Comedians Hamish & Andy have divided Aussies with a controversial take on how often they believe different items of dirty laundry actually need to be washed. 

In a recent podcast episode, Andy Lee disgusted fans with his bold admission about re-wearing used socks across multiple days and wearing pants and shorts repeatedly ‘until soiled’ with stains. 

‘Bec said to me this morning, didn’t you wear those pants yesterday? I said yes,’ Andy told his co-host.

Andy, 43, strongly disagreed with his fiancée Rebecca Harding on her pro one-wear-one-wash laundry stance. 

‘PANTS?! ‘Pants are unlimited,’ Hamish Blake replied in shock.

Comedians Hamish & Andy have divided Aussies with a controversial take on how often they believe different items of dirty laundry actually need to be washed 

In a recent podcast episode, Andy Lee disgusted fans with his bold admission about re-wearing used socks across multiple days and wearing pants and shorts repeatedly ‘until soiled’ with stains 

Feeling emboldened by Hamish’s support, Andy suggested the pair set down their own laundry guidelines for each common piece of clothing. 

‘I would like us to establish what is the given amount of days’ wear per item,’ Andy said. 

The pair then devised their own set of ‘re-wear rules’. 

T-shirts can be worn for ‘a day and a half,’ Andy agreed after first suggesting two days.

‘I don’t think you can do two full days,’ Hamish countered, considering the warm Australian climate. 

‘One day for undies, and you can add a night if you sleep in them also,’ Hamish said. 

‘One plus a night because I do sleep in undies.’ 

Shorts and jumpers can be worn an ‘unlimited’ number of times, according to the duo, provided they don’t get soiled by food or coffee stains.

According to Hamish & Andy, T-shirts can be worn for 1.5 days

The podcast quickly went viral on social media, with fans and followers divided on the rules

‘If you can look after them, you can keep them. It’s like a puppy,’ Hamish said. 

Jumpers could go an entire winter season without a wash, they argued, with proper care. 

‘Again, until soiled,’ Andy said. 

Perhaps the most controversial laundry rule in the short video, which quickly went viral on TikTok, is Andy’s opinion on socks.  

‘Socks can also be worn for a day-and-a-half,’ he said, arguing that dirty pairs of socks can be re-worn for exercise because they are only going to get dirtier. 

‘If I’m going for a run, I prefer to use a soiled sock,’ Andy said. 

‘It’s only going to have a 30-minute life out in the wild. So why not use yesterday’s sock?’

Perhaps the most contentious point in this discussion is Hamish referring to the shoe as a ‘pristine environment’ that should prevent clean socks from dirtying. 

‘UNTIL SOILED?’ one person asked with a series of crying emojis on TikTok. 

‘As soon as something has been worn on public transport or in an environment that I don’t control, it’s time for a wash,’ one user commented.

‘Bras: 1-30 years,’ US comedian Nikki Glaser said.

‘Depends where you live. In Melbourne undies = 1.5 days… in Darwin, undies = 1.5 hours,’ another pointed out.
