I enjoy doing laundry. I only wear blk clothes and lingerie.
Everything is washed inside out in cold/cold setting.
WOOLITE DARKS detergent.
No fabric softer--that kills the color.
Air dry
And iron in cool setting.
If it states to dry clean--choose to hand wash garment. Don't be lazy.
All of my clothing is washed on cold and dried on medium or low. I use lavender castile soap (a little goes a long ways and I like the smell). I make my own stain remover (2 parts baking soda, 1 part hydrogen peroxide, 1 part Dawn), which I actually just add a few drops to when I do whites (I feel like just wearing them makes them a slight bit discolored).
all jeans wash inside out to stop the colour running
all dress shirts wash together, without anything else. (not even other whites.)
Clothes are sorted, washed, dried and folded by color. My work shirts are sent out to be laundered, ironed and hung (my big treat to myself when I made a better income - I was sick and tired of ironing).
I am weird about the dryer - when I put in a dryer load, I go back every few minutes to take things out so they are not in the dryer too long - especially more delicate things. It gets exhausting.
And then I iron all my sheets and pillow cases, because I hate when they are wrinkled.
Growing up, my mom ironed everything -- even pajamas, and including sheets and pillow cases. Not socks or underwear though. I guess I come by it honestly.
I got a maid. She hates doing laundry too. So we just fuck on the washing machine.
