    ah you haven’t had to deal with women’s clothing I see. A significant portion is hand wash only, esp if it’s even vaguely nice. Tho some random regular shit is still slapped with hand wash only.

    So you’ve got a ton of hand wash only stuff, and you live in a shack because that’s all you can afford in this society. So you have the kitchen sink (gotta clean the sink real good, an extra hassle) or a collapsible (collapses in use on occasion) wash bin to do hand wash in, yet you have a ton of wash to hand wash.

    So you channel shadow and divine what is machine washable and what isn’t to bring the hand wash burden back to reasonable!

          Very rarely, a men’s shirt says “lie flat to dry”. I own one. I toss it in the dryer, it’s fine. Don’t do this to anything you really like though, there’s usually a good reason they say that.

      Haha, got it.

      Took years, but we have a special delicates washer and delicates are allowed to be cleaned on gentle.

      She hand washed for the first few decades of her life though, so I know what you mean.
