Throw in the washing machine

Whatever happen was bound to happen

The strong cloths survive, the weak do not

And I dont need weak cloths

u/TiresOnFire 21h ago

Throw everything in, set to cold, hit go. Don't use dryer sheets with towels. Those are about the only rules I follow.

18

u/LieutenantFlapjack 13h ago

Or just don’t even use dryer sheets at all and simplify it even more! I don’t think I’ve ever thought “man these clothes aren’t soft enough”.

u/TiresOnFire 8h ago

I used them to deal with the static mainly.

u/Girth_Wind_y_Fire 21h ago

Wait, why no dryer sheets with towels?

56

u/TiresOnFire 20h ago

Dryer sheets leave a waxy coating on your clothes. Which is fine for clothes. But for towels, it inhibits their ability to absorb moisture, which is the whole point of a towel. The more you know! 🌈🌟

u/Temporary_Ad_247 20h ago

Thank you. I never knew this before 

15

u/TiresOnFire 20h ago

I didn't for a while either. You'll notice a difference almost immediately. Also, treat yourself and get some nice towels. I have a bunch of cheap old ones in the linen closet and 4 that were kind of pricy that I keep in my usual rotation, but totally worth it. Not much better than a nice, clean, fluffy towel after a hot shower.

I like mine abrasive

u/Temporary_Ad_247 15h ago

Thanks. Nothing better than a fluffy towel after a shower absolutely.

u/YoungSmaug 13h ago

Same with fabric softener!!! Fabric softener has plastics that coat the fibres and yes it makes them soft but it decreases absorbency!

2

u/LieutenantFlapjack 13h ago

I’ll be honest I’ve never known what dryer sheets even are (they aren’t a thing here) and looks like it’s literally fabric softener in a sheet??

2

u/YoungSmaug 12h ago

Kind of!! It’s mainly to reduce static and makes things less likely to catch lint and things !

u/MoreGaghPlease 17h ago

This is largely generational. 35+ years ago, clothes were totally different. Lots of garments needed to be ironed, but others couldn’t be. Way more items were dry clean only. Way more items were hand wash only. Way more items were lay-flat dry only. Dyes ran more. Clothes were more susceptible to shrinking. Formal wear was much more common in work settings. And clothes were also just way more expensive.

I'll ask your mother at breakfast.

u/lkodl 23h ago

Nice, my mom makes the best breakfast. Can I come too? What time are y'all meeting up?

u/john_1182 22h ago

Mum said about half hour after dad leaves for work, so about 8am

u/Jaded_Blood_2731 15h ago

u/pseydtonne 15h ago

The polyester probably weaves into the Spandex to make it less like workout clothing. These trousers stretch when you need it. You can pretend you'll never need such pret-a-porter, but the stuff is so much better than the old Sans-a-Belt slacks.

u/NortonBurns 1d ago

The washing instructions are right there. if you don't understand them… ask your mother ;)

u/BrainFartTheFirst 1d ago

Wash at 40° f, no triangles, iron with eyes, and pee in a circle?

11

u/Arcires 1d ago edited 22h ago

Just in case you're curious, it's:

  • Wash at 40°
  • No tumble drying (if it were, there'd be small dots, like with the iron)
  • No bleach
  • May be ironed, no hotter than setting 2 (global standard on most irons)
  • Dry clearer instructions (just tells a dry clearer what chemicals to use, not for home / daily washes)

u/hybrid461 1d ago

Incorrect. The triangle is for no bleach. Dryer is a square with a circle inside, with dots for temperature

u/Arcires 22h ago edited 12h ago

Oh good catch, messed up the order of my symbols.

1

u/Mikeologyy 23h ago

Wait I thought square with a circle in it was machine wash. Now I gotta look up the chart again.

Edit: oh I’m dumb, that’s what the tub of water is. I always thought that was just the general symbol to tell you that the temp inside referred to the washing temp and that the distinction between hand and machine washing was a separate symbol.

1

u/hybrid461 23h ago

Yeah I have to look it up usually. Haha. The washing machine is a tub shape

3

u/CastrateMeASAP 16h ago

I regularly go outside to pee, because there’s only one toilet in the house, that 3 humans share, I live in the country, and as a man, the world is my toilet. I’ll have to try this “peeing in a circle” idea,
Thanks.

u/Damage2Damage 1d ago

BUT CAN I TUMBLE DRY IT?

u/mjh215 1d ago edited 1d ago

I spent my life thinking those were just indecipherable hieroglyphics, never thought to check.

EDIT: Just to elaborate, I thought they were like manufacturing codes and such. Never actually looked at them, figured they were for the factory to categorize/etc.

Is that a nose in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Don't wash with water hotter than 40°C, dont bleach, and iron only as high as 150°C, avoid detergents with PCE
