It's... artistic... On a good day, I feel like a B-list stripper.
How does the saying go?
"I don't know Art, but I know what I like and that's strippers."
Wait, wait, no, that's not it...

Yes, yes she did. I've been washing my own clothes since I was about 9.WOW
Didn't your mums teach you how to do your washing?
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.-and- didn't you ever read the washing instructions on the label?
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!Yes, yes she did. I've been washing my own clothes since I was about 9.WOW

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.
Oh, btw, how do you people hang your T-shirts on the clothes-line?
There's a science connected to that as well![]()
^That's hard on the fibers!

/.../ it's a tedious job turning all the shirts from several loads of laundry right-side out before folding them or hanging them up.
But I have GREAT t-shirts that are more than seven years old but don't look it.^That's hard on the fibers! /.../:
I feel like your clothes are way more delicate than mine.

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

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 have never used a clothes-line. I've always had a dryer.
Not even one formal suit?I don't have any clothing I would ever describe as "great." Except maybe my ass jeans, but those are new.
