One Hamper, or Two?

This is just a random thought that occurred to me in the last couple of days, but does anyone realize how dirty their laundry hamper is? Day after day we toss our dirty clothes into them and then we do our laundry. That's what the hamper is supposed to do, and it servers its functions pretty well. I think what we don't think about is how dirty they really are after coming into contact with our dirty clothes covered in dirt, blood, sweat, and tears. There are generally no issues with that since we don't expect our laundry hampers to do the cleaning for us.

Throughout my time at college (before I moved into my own apartment off-campus), I noticed that people would use the same hamper to take their freshly-cleaned clothes back to their room. Think about that for a second-you're putting your clean clothes into the hamper that your dirty clothes were in. I don't think people really give it much thought, but after a long time, laundry hampers aren't exactly the cleanest things around. It just seems that we don't give too much thought about it, or at least I didn't...
