Everything goes in the same load. It dies? It dies. I won't tolerate weak clothing holding me back.

[-] Misconduct@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] nodiet@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Hyggyldy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

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

[-] SteelBeard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I just turn them inside out.

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?

[-] PixelOfLife@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

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

[-] DaCookeyMonsta@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Hyperi0n@lemmy.film 1 points 1 year ago

Just run the dishwasher more often

[-] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] LemmyFeed@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

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

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago

I messed up a really nice sweater this way. Now I follow the instructions to a tee

[-] WrittenWeird@lemmy.world 72 points 1 year ago

Can't mess up really nice clothes when you don't have really nice clothes.

This is how humans have lived for thousands of years. Some may call it laziness, I call it practicalality.

[-] WrittenWeird@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm helping lower the fancy bar to business-casual.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I paid eight whole dollars for this coat at the op shop and Ill be damned if Im gonna squander that investment

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Solution: Never wash your clothes.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah my wife would throw me in the washer along with my clothes at that point

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Make sure she turns you inside out first

[-] SolarNialamide@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the only thing you gotta be careful with is wool, because that seriously shrinks like crazy with anything over 20°C. Everything else just goes on 30-40°C, good luck.

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago
[-] SolarNialamide@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I don't own anything made of silk but I believe you

[-] Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

I can't imagine having any clothes nice enough that I'm willing to dry clean only.

Maybe like a suit that I take out twice a year. Maybe.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It is legit cheaper to just buy a new suit after 4 wears instead of dry cleaning one.

[-] MagnusRobotFighter@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

I dub things "dishwasher safe"

[-] TheObserver@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That's me with the microwave. Did it melt? No? Ok it's safe.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Jamixthedestroyer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I feel that slam in my soul

[-] dottedgreenline@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

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).

[-] Methylman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Does the detergent affect the water shedding of polyester?

[-] Methylman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] xantonin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Sorry this isn't exactly related but which apps does the @MrLovenstein@mastodon.social link work? Didn't work in Liftoff

[-] puddlexplorer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Mastodon, Tusky, Husky, Shitter, Fedilab, etc.

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

It takes me to a basic user profile view in Connect
