I add oxyclean (I use generic) besides liquid Tide...(2scoops)
And wash my shirts inside out, and dry my tshirts on hangers.
They don't fade or shrink.
But they are also high quality and I want to keep them that way.
I dry most of my clothing on low. It works fine.
Nothing shrinks.
I hate doing laundry by the way..
Lmao.
Usually I take them down to the creek, and beat them on a rock, but its all icy now so I'm just going naked till the spring thaw.
I hate laundry...
I simply throw all the dirty clothes out and buy new.
I don't actually do laundry unless wife is away. She doesn't trust me with the job. We have a pretty good division of labour, though, so its not like I'm sitting on my ass while she does it.
That said, we mostly just pre-wash really dirty stuff in the laundry tub, toss it all in the machine, and run it on normal cycle, then over to the dryer.
I take my clothes to the cleaners. I like my dress shirts heavy starched.
Back before I had a baby, I'd go to the gym quite often. That means lots of stretchy, spandexy things that needed washing. While it's fine to wash them as you normally would, drying anything spandex in the dryer is a recipe for disaster. Sooner rather than later, the spandex/Lycra will simply give out due to excess heat. So, I'd dry the stretchy things on a drying rack. I still do this with bras. Not so much with the pants. Ain't got time for that shit with a screamin' banshee baby needing her mama.
i toss em all into the same load...can't be bothered lol
She's a saint with the lips of a sinner.

Clothes finished drying in a tumble dryer can usually just be smoothed out by hand soon as tumbler stops avoiding the need for ironing, and towels and bath robes keep nice and fluffy
I have to say i look forward to doing whites. Hot water, bleach, hot rinse - there's something about knowing you're getting it all so clean. A gf of mine is the same way. And i kinda don't like hand-washing the few delicates i have, tho if i am it means something fun happened and that's something to smile about.
Hmm, I can't say I give it much attention beyond whites/colours and hand washing the few super delicate items of clothing I own - I don't own a tumble dryer so everything is hung up or outside.
* Don't wash them too often
* Don't use too much detergent
* Don't wash them with too hot water
* Wash them with the right colours
* IRON EVERYTHING (I even iron my towels)
I air dry most of my clothes
Been seriously hard with the rain for the last month
Inside takes two days
What's hell..
My son bringing me home a month's worth of laundry from college
What's heaven...that I can still do it as I miss him
Who knew there were so many strategies for doing laundry? And here I thought all you do is throw them in and push the "Start" button.
I have my daughter do it all. Remarkably easy solution (for me).
My wife used to air dry everything on the clothesline. She was so disdainful of dryers we didn't even own one. Our clothes smelled awesome. I miss that.
To the OP ... I think the solution is simple .. get a wife or female partner .. show her the washing machine, laundry basket and iron/ironing board .. problem sorted.
Joking!
I actually don't mind doing laundry, sometimes I find it relaxing, and I do it a couple of times a week so it doesn't pile up.
People that wash, dry, and put away their clothes think they're sooo great.
