Don't mind me, I'm simply enjoying this deep dive on... Laundry

You've never bought something expensive, seen it degrade after a few washes and watched a few YouTube videos about it?

Few things out there piss me off more than the shrinking of clothes, to be honest.

Completely unnecessary, ruins the garment in an irreversible way, and requires spending on replacements. Like you can drop a can of coke on white pants and get the stain out no prob, but you can't unshrink the pants once shrunk and use them again.

Always buy a size bigger in natural fabrics mang

I don't even know how to use my washer or dryer tbh

Is that what you do? I was literally thinking earlier about it, but then you're wearing oversized and hoping it'll shrink down.

That's way crazier to me than discussing the benefits of pima cotton on a hockey message board.

Wash delicate cycle, dry normal heat once and you're sorted forever.

Or buy pre shrunk, which some premium brands do.

Hm, I wash normal (not delicate) with jeans, but then I do dry on normal heat, and it can't be the wash cycle causing the shrinking.

The fucking dryer must be malfunctioning.

 

[MindzEye]

Easy test for that. Soak a pair of jeans in lighter fluid. Dry normal cycle. If it catches on fire, buy a new dryer

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Risk reward seems off on that one.

 

[MindzEye]

Only way to know.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Sigh, true enough.

You guys are a certified hoot.

This reminds me of the Seinfeld bit about “extra dry” heh
