There are dry cleaners on pretty much every corner that charge 3-4 dollars to do that. Am I missing something here? In ATL, there are many places that do 10 pieces of dry cleaning for 20 bucks. Take in your sport coats, sweaters, ties, pants, and get the group discount. But, if not, then let the nice wool sweaters sit in your closet waiting for a moth to make a home. C'mon Man!!!! :0008

Apparently, the dry cleaners by me don't do that. They say they only DRY or steam clean and have handed those sweaters back to me. Although, maybe I need to ask at a few other different dry-cleaners.

It should also be noted that, as I live in Southern California, the motivation level isn't all that high to get my wool sweaters cleaned. Another year in the closet won't make much of a difference to me :0002

FDC, you didn't ask the key question here. Who FOLDS their own clothes?

That's the worst part of doing laundry, IMO, and half the time I'm pulling my clean clothes out the hamper because I'm too damn lazy to put them away :mj07:

:toast:

Do you separate whites from colors?

Match the everyday socks? (Not dress socks) ALL MY SOX ARE WHITE DIABETIC SOX, EASY TO MATCH

Use fabric softener and dryer sheets or just one or none of the two? YEP

Have a lint tap cleaner? NOPE, SHAKE IT BABY

What goes into your detergent selection? Is it what your mom used, the ex, or the cheapest? Does fragrance drive your choice? TIDE

Oxi-Clean? Small scoop right into the wash cycle? NOPE

Do you use the soak option? RARELY

Do you go through every one of your pockets before you wash? TRY TO

Do you dry everything or hang dry specific articles? HANG SWEATERS AND CLOTHES THAT BARELY FIT ME ANYMORE

What's your average weekly dry cleaning bill? 0

Top or front loader? TOP, FRONT ONES SUCK

You ever hand wash with woolite? YES

I literally hang all of my clothes. Color coordinated, all white hangers. :facepalm:
Yeah....okay so this really creates a dilemma for me. I really dig your posts, and consequently you. Surprisingly, I'm truly struggling with what I have yet to embrace as a character flaw that may require some attention or comportment that I'm not quite comfortable with to not simply reply with "Gay", when it comes to hanging your clothes and such.

I generally pack everything in at once, dry on heavy duty and immediately throw onto the guest bed where they stay until I wear them.

It's not that there is any real argument to the fact that, "fag or gay" is absolutely the proper response. I think might be that I'm slightly concerned that someone other than ourselves may mistakenly misinterpret my intent.


Other than that, nice laundry habits......I loved you in "Sweating to the Oldies". Lol.

Cheers bro. It almost feels as if I may have been over served.




Nah



Hope this helps,

Match the everyday socks? (Not dress socks) i try to find even number of socks, if not so what

Use fabric softener and dryer sheets or just one or none of the two? only with wool jerseys and cardigans

Have a lint tap cleaner? yes, and i clean it weekly

What goes into your detergent selection? Is it what your mom used, the ex, or the cheapest? Does fragrance drive your choice? i use same "6" or "9" program+temp adjustment, don't know wtf that even means.... btw sometimes i wash shoes, just bag them and let it rock. safety shoes give quite a lot of noise but no harm to machine...

Oxi-Clean? Small scoop right into the wash cycle? no

Do you use the soak option? no

Do you go through every one of your pockets before you wash? yes, piece of cleanex messes all clothes, also don't want to wash cards or phone...

Do you dry everything or hang dry specific articles? hang everything, easier to move them to the closet and when they are dry

What's your average weekly dry cleaning bill? maybe one or two suits / month 25? each

Top or front loader? top

You ever hand wash with woolite? no

Mine are all hung as well, with the exception shorts. Color coordinated, not so much. Any hanger will do. I just don't have even an ounce of Type A in my body. Sometimes wish I did.

I developed it when I went to college about 13-15 years ago. I was like a typical young kid. Anywhere the clothes would fit, I'd put them. Plus I didn't care about the hangers as long as the clothes hung. I started dating a Korean girl who took it upon herself to go buy me all the same color hangers and organized my closet. Ever since then it just stuck and it's what I've done.

No offense taken. Lets just call it metro! :shrug::0002

Married but I do my own laundry for the past 27 yrs. She does not like the way I do laundry plus she uses the delicate cycle on a lot of her stuff.
I separate whites only , pants sweatshirts together ,socks,underwear together
I use Tide & sometimes fab softener. I forgot towels & sheets together
The only problem we have is that I forget to take stuff out of the dryer. I told her it comes from my single days that it saved time folding & I would pull as needed from dryer.

Glad to see others hate folding and putting away laundry as much as I do... Hate hate hate it..

Wife and I both work full time and have two young girls. We brought in a lady to do laundry for us and have never looked back. Once a week 60 bucks for all four of us. Very reasonable and worth it. I hope to never do laundry again.

I don't sort clothes unless it's my winter bibs. Dryer sheets or fabric softener makes my skin react. I'm extremely compulsive about the lint trap being clean, couple died here years ago from a fire that was said to be causes by lint trap

I rarely allow a lady to do my laundry I'll point out. have found that women will use doing your laundry as a bargaining chip or throw the fact in your face when they want you to do something you really don't want to.

I use cheer free or all free detergent and a little vinegar for Ice fishing clothes to get auger exhaust smell out
