At some point (in a galaxy, long long time ago) I learned to turn jeans, shorts and hoodies inside out when putting them into washing machine. For some reason, I don’t do the same with smaller, simple things like T-shirts and underwear.
I forgot what was the reasoning behind it, but when I think about it, can’t seem to come to a conclusion which way is better.
Is one way better than another and why?
I’ve only been told to turn T-shirts or garments with dangling bits inside out, so that the friction of rubbing against the other clothes doesn’t wear off the print.
I don’t really see how turning stuff like hoodies inside out would affect anything, apart from maybe preventing the button/zipper from clanking around in the dryer (which admittedly IS very obnoxious)
Just about the only thing I remember was that my mom always said that one should zip them up and not leave the zipper open – specifically so that it does not clank around and perhaps scratch the washing machine drum or get its tiny teeth brush and the moving part tangled with other, softer garments.
Turning the hoodie inside out might mitigate that a little bit more, but not much…
