Should you clean clothes?

New player here, currently at 2 vehicles, little house, firearms and mostly comfortable with supplies overall. Playing on a PVE server.

I am running around in either a stab-proof vest or armor tactical vest, as a result, I dont get bleeding easily. Also, I have stockpiled antibiotics, so I think the risk of dying from infection is pretty low.

On the other hand, clothes get dirty _so fast_, and cleaning them seems to need a metric ton of soap, so if I was to keep my clothes clean, the game would pretty much turn into a soap farming simulator if you ask me.

So the question is: is it actually worth / adviced to keep clothes clean, or can you just entirely skip this?
