I am going for a week-long tour in a few weeks and taking only three pairs of shorts. Every night I wash the pair I was wearing during the day in the shower. The next day it won't always be totally dried so I have a spare just in case...

Your local camping store should carry biodegradable soap to wash your clothes with that will be MUCH less damageable to the streams than regular soap. I STRONGLY recommend using that, plus it doubles up as a body wash, shampoo, etc....
