• Why over-washing shortens a garment's lifespan- Every time I dry something, I find little fibers and bits in the lint trap. Guess what those used to be? Your clothing! All of those little pieces, over time, strip the density and construction of your clothes. Also, the tossing around causes rubbing away of fibers, plus what the soaps or bleach strips out can cause fabrics to be worn away. SOLUTION: wash on delicate/hand wash and hang dry. 
• Which items should be washed after every wear (tank tops, t-shirts, lighter weight knits that tend to look crumpled quickly, socks and underwear of course) versus every 3–8 wears- jeans and sweaters can go 3-5 wears typically, whereas heavier jackets and blazers can go 5-8 wears but there is a workaround...
• How to air out clothing This can be done after every wear. Hang inside out in a well ventilated area or outdoors. A closet or bathroom with moisture will add funk. Option to sprinkle a little baking soda or a spritz of a non-toxic fabric deodorizer. 
• Make your own natural "Febreze" by mixing 2 cups of distilled water, 1/4 cup of witch hazel (or rubbing alcohol), and 10 drops of essential oils (like lavender or citrus) in a spray bottle. It can remove odors safely without toxic ingredients. Use it inside out and very lightly.
