Which technique do you primarily use?

Yep, I am the 2 handed cross over.
Until now, I never really thought about it and had to demonstrate to figure it out. LOL

Besides the two handed looks sexier. My BF does the pull over...yeah not a fan of that one.

As for the washing inside out..meh *shrugs*
 
WOW :eek:

Didn't your mums teach you how to do your washing?
Yes, yes she did. I've been washing my own clothes since I was about 9.

-and- didn't you ever read the washing instructions on the label?
The only thing I check on the label is to see if it's 100% Cotton or not so that I know if I can put it in the dryer without it shrinking.

Honestly, I don't wear clothes with graphics or anything on the front, so I don't have to worry about things getting worn off. And if I did, I'd be fine with it. I enjoy clothes that get a little wear and tear.

I realise that I might have sounded a bit... hmmm... harsh(?)... in some of my comments but I assure you that it was all for comic effect!

I suppose it's like the old joke:

"I wish I listened to what my dad told me!"
"Oh, what did he tell you?"


-some of the things we're told stick, others don't, for reasons unimaginable (to me) the washing advice I got from my mum apparently stuck :guffaw:

Oh, btw, how do you people hang your T-shirts on the clothes-line?

There's a science connected to that as well :lol:
 
If I have my glasses on, I pull the collar up over my head, then I reach back and pull the rest of the shirt over my body. Then I take my arms out.

I had always washed blue jeans inside out. My wife started me washing shirts (especially graphic t-s) that way. But in a family of four, when the clothes come out of the drier, it's a tedious job turning all the shirts from several loads of laundry right-side out before folding them or hanging them up. So, I stopped turning them right-side out. My wife complained, but when I'm in a hurry, I still fold or hang up my own shirts inside out.
 
I take it out like a turtle, I suppose. I'm too lazy to watch the vid to determine what that is, though. :lol:
 
/.../ it's a tedious job turning all the shirts from several loads of laundry right-side out before folding them or hanging them up.

The "good advice people" keep telling me I should just put things (T-shirts, shirts, jeans....) on hangers as I take them out of the washer and hang them to dry... and when they're dry just hang them in the closet.
I like the simplicity of that system! -but alas I hate hangers!
 
I don't have any clothing I would ever describe as "great." Except maybe my ass jeans, but those are new.

I buy new clothes every year anyway. Most of the older stuff eventually becomes workout clothes. The good part about that is that I never have to actually buy workout clothes.

I've heard that, too. My wife's into getting polos, t's, and other things that shrink about half-dry in the drier, then she lays them flat on our bed (and our daughters's clothes on their beds). That also makes us have to put them away before going to bed that night. So, it has two purposes. Clean clothes don't pile up.

[By the way, on the topic of laundry, if you don't know it exists, you all need to find this wrinkle release spray (Downey brand in the U.S.). It's a godsend. A body will never need to iron again. You can even use it on clothes you're wearing. I used it on a suit once that became terribly wrinkled while traveling. Saved the day.]

I just buy wrinkle-free clothes. :p

I'm obsessed with wrinkles and creases in clothes. Remember that Seinfeld episode where the Maestro wouldn't put on his pants until the last minute so they wouldn't have creases from sitting? That's essentially me. But I find having a bottle of the wrinkle-release spray in my desk is better than walking around my office pantless. Especially since there are co-eds around.
 
I flex my muscles until the shirt explodes.

Other than that, I take my shirt off like everybody else, I guess: I grab the back of the collar, pull it over my head, take my arms out, then drop it on my bedroom floor to let the mold develop.

Just in case it isn't (bloody :p ) obvious by now: I don't wear things that need ironing -sure I have an iron and an ironing-board for that one shirt that goes with the tux. -but apart from that, stretching and hanging and folding the right way has been my credo when it comes to having shirts (and whatnot) look unwrinkled when I need it.

One thing is that I *HATE* ironing another that I simply don't understand this whole idea that your clothes have to be smooth and cubistic to be acceptable (darn! -now Holdfast is gonna crucify me!).
Why aren't clothes that are clean just OK -why on earth do they have to have a smooth surface too to be acceptable?

I just hang t-shirt and jeans directly on the line using pegs (on the seams), but I use hangers for buttoned shirts and semi-formal trousers.

I have never used a clothes-line. I've always had a dryer.
I, on the other hand, never had a dryer. They are still pretty uncommon in Italy (thankfully I should add, I surmise they consume a huge amount of power to function). I do my drying on clothes-lines during spring-summer-fall, and a indoor clothes-line assembly (I think they are called clotheshorses or something like that) during winter.

I don't have any clothing I would ever describe as "great." Except maybe my ass jeans, but those are new.
Not even one formal suit? :eek:
