      Sometimes I like to pretend I will though. It usually lasts about as long as it takes to hand wash one garment. Sometimes I’m even feeling especially magnanimous and I’ll let something air dry

    This is how I do it, and literally nothing bad has happened. Break free from the matrix, y’all.

      For a little while I was like this. Turns out, this may work for cotton and synthetic fabrics, but don’t do this for organic fabrics such as silk or wool.

      I think it matters more with printed shirts. I’ve got one I love the design of so I don’t run it through the dryer, just hand it over my shower curtain rod. Still toss it in the wash, though.

        Yeah if you put a printed logo shirt in the dryer it will eventually look like a dinosaur has clawed through the logo.

    Same energy: kitchen implements

    My wooden spatula is cracking and warping after being put in the dishwasher every time, but too bad. I’ll use it until it splinters into pulp

    Not dishwasher “safe” for whom?

      Wooden spatulas are supposed to look rough though. It somehow feels wrong to cook with a spatula that has no battle scars.

      I need those too often to let them sit in the dishwasher.

      Those utensils who work get washed. Those who don’t get sent to the dishwasher gulag for a week.

      thats a shame- its not too hard to quickly handwash your wooden and wooden handled kitchen bits, and its so much nicer than the never ending torrent of plastic shit we have to interact with daily

    Haha for real, survival of the fits. Same thing with my plants, if you don’t survive winter outside, sucks to be you.

    I just assumed those tags were placed by lawyers in case someone got upset if their crappy clothes fell apart. I didn’t think most people actually read the.

    I can’t be bothered with all that and just wash everything at 30c on the quickest setting. Though I do also have to do an extra 1400rpm spin cycle to get rid if the excess dampness as my machine only does max 1000rpm at lower temps.

    My main washing gauntlet is my drying regimen as I tend to max out the radiator. I hate slow dried clothes if they are not dried outside, as thicker shirts and trousers and the elasticated parts of boxers and thick socks get a nasty damp smell if no radiator is involved (shitty northern europe weather).

    I sort/separate so technical gear (hiking gear and other polyester stuff) doesn’t get washed with detergent but don’t see the need to use the more expensive stuff (non chlorine bleach) on regular clothes

        Oh-i wasn’t expecting anyone to ask a follow-up… I think so, tbh it feels like every website says differently and when you read through it’s because they are all advertising a some brand of cleaner.

        Ideally you want the polyester wicking moisture away from you and imo detergent always leaves a waxxy-feeling residual layer that is seemingly less noticeable on clothes made of cotton or other natural fibers.
