    Help the man out.

  • yeah you're right
    Tip #1 don't put a lot of startch in your panties it makes them bunch up

  • big momma used to drop some knowledge regarding shrinkage when i was a child. basically if you don't want your t-shits or clothing to shrink, always put your machine to COLD / DELICATE. and always hang dry.

    Frickin' laundry advice?!?! take that shit to marthastewart.com





    Air dry your favorite T-Shirts. Always air dry your Polos. Air dry your Jeans.

    Separate your Light colors/Whites/Darks. I even keep a batch/group for Cold Water Cleaning.

    Use those fabric softeners when using a dryer.

    Take care of your clothes, shit aint cheap.

    Turn your underwear inside out so the detergent can get the bootystains out.

    Once your outta college, learn how to up your laundry game for real.

    And dudes who let their girl wash their gear says they dont care about their shit.

    I agree with all of this except the air drying bit. What's the point of that? And as a city dweller, how do you pull it off?

    Oh, and I only separate into dry cleaning and lights/darks. I know, I know???

    I don't think he means open air...? You can buy a clothes rack almost anywhere and just hang stuff on that. They fold up good and flat when not in use.

    We only had a washer in our last place, so for four yrs we hung dry everything. You realize how unnecesary dryers are - things dry within a day not to mention dryers waste a lot of energy.

    Other than gauch, towels and socks that get washed in hot - I wash everything else in cold and hang dry it. Your clothes last way longer and look better longer.

    I hang dry my stuff over chairs/shower racks/etc. Whatever.

    And as far as the bootystains........inside-out for real.

    Darks and lights are fine but im not puttin my whites w/ my pastels. I bleach my whites anyways.

    Plus a Red towel w/ a light-Beige towel =

    Interesting. I wash my clothes at the laundromat across the street from my place, so I'm already over there, and the drying is actually pretty cheap. Is it worth it to bring my stiff home wet and rack it at home? And wouldn't everything get perma-wrinkly in transit? School a bachelor.

    yes your clothes will dry wrinkly when you hang dry. and that picture is crazy talk... if you hang dry your shirt on a hangar like that they will stretch and you will get shirt nipples.


    and my drawers don't go IN to the wash with booty-stains, so uh, do what you will with that.

    And jeans take about 2 days to hang dry completely.

    I have a laundrymatt in the basement of my apt bldg, so I dry all my wack clothes and bring up my worth-saving stuff.

    Irons!Take!Care!Of!Wrinkles!

    Two days?! I guess it depends on the size of the jeans.

    This is a superb question. What I do is, I buy a lemon (preferably 10cm in diameter) and scrub on the clothing, up and down, and then air dry it. With the excess, you can apply it on the arm-pit area, for a deodorant scent that chicks dig!!!

    Try it with your favorite fruits!

    Does ironing use less energy than drying? Plus, I'm not gonna lie???I may be too lazy to iron on the reg.

    I think it comes down to what you got and if you have patience for ironing. Most of my clothes I won't put in the dryer and even when I was using the laundromat, I would haul it back home wet and hang-dry. If I have 10 things I'm going to hang-dry and three things that I'm willing to put in the dryer, I might as well hang dry it all, you know?

    Yes, definitely bring your stiff back home wet.

    U dont have to iron all that shit. Just iron whatever your gonna wear that day. And its usually just the shirt.
    Unless you have yo shit sent to the real Laundry.
