"Once every month" — Love Is Blind fame Ben reveals how often he does laundry

During a private conversation in episode 8 of Love Is Blind, Ben told Sara that once they started living together, they would discover things about each other that could bother them. He said he was "still looking" for that "thing" about Sara, confident he would find it soon. However, it was Sara's habit of leaving tags on clothes that he found "interesting."

"That's girl math 101. If you don't take the tag off, you never buy it, but I'm like, 'Well, okay, doesn't really click in my head but I'm fine with it' " Ben said.

Hearing that, Sara brought up Ben's hair-washing schedule, saying they needed to "talk about it." When he asked if she disliked it, Sara countered, saying it was "nice." Ben defended himself by mentioning how a "professional barber" had once complimented his hair.

Sara decided to move ahead and ask him how often he did laundry. The female cast member was shocked when Ben said:

"Like, uh, like once every month."

The Love Is Blind star explained he wore "the same outfit" multiple times which was why he did not have much laundry. Sara then asked him how often he washed his bedsheets, to which Ben said he did so every two weeks. He added that he preferred "fresh sheets." Sara was relieved to hear that and said that was "good."

Later in the episode, the couple reunited with the other engaged pairs and got to know more about one another.
