laundry n00b - plz help

Parallax · 10-14-2010, 04:32 PM

so i got a bunch of clothes i need to wash (bunch of socks, tshirts and jeans, all darks) two towels (both dark) and a white bedsheet. now do i need to do like 3 loads for this stuff or will i be able to get away with doing everything in one load? its like five bucks to do a wash and dry, and i need that money for drugs and booze.

just buy more clothes and towels until you have enough for 3 maximally full loads.

The Rev · 10-14-2010, 04:42 PM

You can wash it all together, but colors run a bit, so your whites will get dingy and grayish from the colored stuff. Since it's only a bed sheet, maybe that doesn't matter.

Laundry is so monoteounouse....mak es me want to eat a small animal alive infront of you vegans.

violently

don`t ask me about laundry again.

in college i actually put it off and just let my stuff air out and put scented carpet sprinkle on it (didn't have febreeze)

i do not recommend this.

white and darks always need to be separate. wash your socks and light colored things with your white bed sheet and the towels with the rest

Captain Cannabis · 10-14-2010, 04:55 PM

you can wash stuff in a bucket if its only small clothes

edit: or a sink

Yes. That's what I call stimulating the economy.

How the fuck do you not know this shit? Did your slaves die?

mr.nobody · 10-14-2010, 05:05 PM

just make two loads man, dont wanna fuck the tees.

HTAM · 10-14-2010, 05:07 PM

You should really consider getting a second set of sheets, pillow cases, et al.

Unless you mind sleeping on the same sheets 6-8 hours a day for however long it is between washing said set of sheets.

**SageTree** · 10-14-2010, 05:08 PM

Yea, dark darks and light darks +sheet.

You can always bleach the whites if they get dingy looking.

Cheers.

Parallax · 10-14-2010, 05:23 PM

the only white thing i have is the bedsheet and thats it. and all i got is $250 and thats gotta cover food, smoke/weeds/ booze, supplies, books, my tuition, and laundry

mr.nobody · 10-14-2010, 05:29 PM

wtf throw all that shit in the wash together then. thought they were white tees

**SageTree** · 10-14-2010, 05:30 PM

Yea, I'd just wash it up with light darks, unless you think you want to only do one load.

Another rule of thumb is a too full of a washer = bad soap dispersion= not pleasant

If you want to save money get some rope and make a clothes line for the stuff that is light enough to dry, but try doing it with all of it and see how fast it happens. If there is stuff that is still damp after a day then pop in in the dry, but you'll have a smaller load if you dry socks and boxes and t-shirts on a line.

Save money= be inventive.

mr.nobody · 10-14-2010, 05:37 PM

+clothes smell so much better off of the line.

my_scatterheart · 10-14-2010, 05:42 PM

so you're kinda a fuckin knob, aye?

Meth0d · 10-14-2010, 06:16 PM

Ive heard this story before, peeps never doing wash, doing taxes, or cooking at all while they lived at home and now they're away at collage with no clue how to handle these domestic tasks. Nothing against your parents but these are skills your parents should teach their kids before they leave the nest. Lucky for you though the trolling is pretty light in here so the good advice is easy to pick out.

my_scatterheart · 10-14-2010, 06:26 PM

I dream of going away to collages

myxomatosis · 10-14-2010, 06:27 PM

This is the same guy that couldn't cook a potato, so yeah I'm guessing no one made him do things of that nature on his own. Tis a shame.
