Men doing laundry

[DrumNFeather]

Some used, some not...I mean, cold season or allergy season, you gotta have a tissue with you, right?

You also didnt mention:

1. Remove stays from shirt collars so that they last longer.
2. If using liquid detergent, rinse detergent cap thoroughly before putting it back otherwise over time you are left with a disgusting messy blob of goo.
3. Do not allow clean clothes to fall onto floor as you transfer them from washer to dryer.
4. Make sure lint catcher is clean but don't actually touch the lint when cleaning it. Preferred to never change the lint catcher yourself ()
5. If I catch anyone putting something of theirs into my load of laundry, there will be sh** to pay. Do your own load of laundry.

You wash your dress shirts at home?

[TripletDaddy]

It's the reverse in our household. I do all the laundry. If I don't then my wife will wash the fluorescent yellow microfiber rags we bought at Costco with my black socks. Either that or my wife only puts Clorox 2 and no detergent in the wash. Or a healthy dose of kleenexes from my wife's robes' pockets will be integrated into the wash water.

I've done my own laundry probably since I was about 9, though I can't remember. My wife has attempted to wash my clothes a few times and most of the time it doesn't turn out well.

Collar stays in casual shirts?

Why does it have to be in your pocket?

Do you carry around toilet paper in your pocket when you are suffering from a little indigestion?

I see you guys being the kind that don't let professionals press your shirts because they don't do it properly.

ha! I knew it!!

If the machine is one of the ones where you put the detergent directly into the tub, then I throw the whole cap in so that it is also cleaned.

We have community washers/dryers, and my biggest pet peeve is when others don't clean out the lint catcher. I'm probably going to put up a sign.

I see what you thought you new, but I don't see how my comment led you to realize you were right. Is this one of those situations where you're right because you're right?

lol...right because that's the same thing.

It's a heavy burden, but I'm willing to bear it.

I definitely have my button-up shirts professionally laundered and pressed. But there are tons and tons of terrible dry cleaners for every good one. Finding a good one can be difficult. I feel lucky to have a great one pretty close to home, and they are decently priced, too.

you sound like you are an amazing roommate.

I have never thought of putting the entire cap into the wash. I like that idea. I usually rinse it as the washer is filling up with water. I am very anti-blob of goo.

Do they put that little plastic arrow thing in the collar to keep it from folding over? Fazio is the only place I know that does that, but they are not cheap. I'm currently using a pick up/delivery place that's pretty reasonable, but they don't protect my shirts from collar fold-overs.

I rinse the detergent cap.

Another thing, I wash towels together and I only use powdered detergent. Towels will have less of an odor problem if you do this because liquid detergent supposedly has more animal fat content than powdered detergent -- or so I read on the internet. But I've been doing this myself for awhile now and it's made a big difference.
