You can wash sheets on the towel setting.

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 points 6 days ago

Look at the millionaire that has a towel setting.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 week ago

People use those settings? It all goes through the heavy soiled gauntlet for me

[-] bugbear@lemmy.sdf.org 38 points 1 week ago

Maybe others don't heavily soil their sheets

[-] Meatwagon@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago

You don't have a peeing section in your bed?

[-] bugbear@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 days ago

Of course not, I pee in my wellies in the closet like a civilised person!

This made my day

No, you misunderstand: They're washing by passing their stuff through gauntlets.

[-] bugbear@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 week ago

Ah, that makes so much sense now!

To be clear though, the arcade machines or the gloves?

[-] riskable@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

The arcade machines are superior because they can handle four at a time!

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

A dirty gauntlet at that. Not sure how that helps for laundry, but everyone has their own process.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Like gauntlets without fingertips? Driving gauntlets?

Having children makes you shit the bed‽ 😲 I don't think I want any of those then.

[-] saigot@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

that is probably making your clothes age out faster than they need to (and takes longer and uses more power/water).

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 week ago

I'm mostly riffing on the mr lovestein comic, I don't actually do that

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

I don't do that either.
Because I look at that written before buying and then don't buy it.

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

For EU folks: the Eco setting actually cleans the most thoughly

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I assume it was supposed to be "thoroughly" but I like "thoughly", it should be a word.

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Oh god not another one of those tough thorough thought ones xD

[-] TrackenDaKracken@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I wash clothes when the hamper is full, about once every two weeks. Everything together (except whites) longest wash, hot water.

Whatever comes out the other side goes back in the closet for the next round.

People make a big deal about buying clothes, washing clothes, folding clothes, organizing closets, matching clothes, shoes, belts, accessories, brands, who wears what when, blah, blah, blah.

Weather and society permitting, I wouldn't even wear clothes. Fuck clothes.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Same but I wash the blacks on their own so they don't get fizzes from the colors. My blacks are black and my whites are white.

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

I use the bulky setting for sheets, blankets, and towels (probably similar to towel setting) not because it washes differently, it doesn’t, but because it has different thresholds to consider the load balanced during spin, and spins it to different speeds. I want my washer to last, so I use it properly with big heavy stuff.

I also use the sanitary setting when I wash underpants and post-bidet towels, but that’s because it superheats the water. Everything else gets washed on tap cold, regular cycle.

[-] prettybunnys@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah but then your sheets will be extra absorbent and you’ll get dry skin.
