Teach me laundry
Had neglectful parents, mother especially thought me 0 adult skills or knowledge. I didn't know I'm meant to change my period pads more than once a day until femanons on 4chan pointed it out… Embarrassing. Hopefully this thread can be found useful or interesting for others as well who've been unsure.
Here's some questions to start off:
>When my black underwear is bleached out red from bodily discharge, or when other underwear develops deep permanent white-ish stains, that's a sign to throw them out cuz they develop bacteria, right?>How often do you do your personal laundry? Is it only til hamper is full? Every weekend even if not much clothes to wash?>Do you always use fabric softener for your cotton clothing when you wash?>Does color sorting matter? >Is 20c fine to use on all cotton except for underwear to extend the lifespan or is that not efficient enough to kill off the bacteria? Is it better to always default to 30c or maybe even 40c?>What exactly even is "rinse and drain" mode, is it for further rinsing clothes without detergent to ensure the soap is fully washed out of the clothes?>Any laundry brands you'd recommend specifically that make a difference?>How hot do you wash your underwear, would you wash at 95c if your machine has the option? Do you use detergent specifically designed for underwear?>Do you wash second hand clothing immediately when you get them home?>How often should a beanie hat be washed in your opinion, assuming it is worn daily. How about sweatshirts and hoodies worn daily or sweatpants? >How many wears or how often every few weeks do you wash your bras?Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
