meatlocker Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 So I have to do my own laundry from now on. I washed my whites on the setting that said "Whites" and all my shirts fucking shrunk a size and my socks are still half dirty. Any way to keep my shirts man sized and have cleaner socks? Is it alright to throw in bleach if some of the shirts have graphics on them? yay for gross incompetence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHorton Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 your shit only shrinks in the dryer bleach is ok if it says color safe on the bottle some people are retarded ... if you can't do your laundry you suck at life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbivore Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 here's how i do laundry... i throw whites, colors, and everything else in the same load, pour in the detergent, and just wash with cold water. no hassle with separation and all that bullshit.... my whites never get dirty enought to where i would need to bleach them or anything like that. i don't get pit stains, and i rarely spill shit on myself, so my method works out nicely for me. i know this was no help to you whatsoever.... sorry.

sarahyoulose Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 "whites" means anything thats NOT TOO DARK or that will leach colour... SOCKS - soak then in hot water and soap first or put them on the "spin cycle" with some really hot water first... bleach will just ruin the socks and it will ruin ANY t-shirt with graphics on it.... to keep your clothes reletivley man sized you have to wash the loads in "warm" not "hot" water... so step 1: collect clothes step 2: soak socks in hot water/soap OR hot water spin cycle step 3: throw everything (including socks) into machine, NO bleach and the "warm water" cycle... bing bam boom clean clothes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAustin Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 everbody knows that the secret for getting whiter whites that don't shrink is to add a couple red shirts to every load. the newer the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatlocker Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 thanks for the help. guess i'll just wash everything on the colors option. school machines don't let you choose specifically :heated: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seven.13 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Haha... Sarah is on point here :) I am lazy though and just do the "whole throw everything in the cold cycle thing" with eco friendly natural detergent. However, if I am washing TT's stinky man clothes then I do what Sarah outlined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoboThruster Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I'm suprised people have been so helpfull, I opened this thread expecting red arrows and breast requests. On a side note moving out of your parents house for the first time is generally a great experience. Don't worry about the laundry so much, Go make some friends and get drunk alot. p.s HI FERMENTOR !

Quoted post 8 or 9 years old, holla! hot anything=shrink. the dye from new clothes can bleed onto lighter clothes even in cold water. my personal wash system if i doing all my laundry, not just to get clean necessities: white light colors dark colors delicates towels i wash whites or towels last so the bleach doesnt get on anything i wear.

Nekro Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 You have to be mega careful with that bleach. The residue can stay in your washing machine and jack your darks. I've ruined a couple nice pieces of clothing this way, and it sucks a lot. I reccomend woolite or bleachless detergent for everything except when your whites are dingy or stained.
