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?


because the inside is the part that touches you all day, and it’s where the stank is
So it looks like I’ve been doing it all wrong all the time. Especially with hoodies, there’s always a t-shirt under them, so the “dirtier” side of the hoodie is more likely to be the outside.
With jeans it’s kind of the same, assuming not too much sweating (and proper underwear turnaround).
well your bare legs are on the jeans… and i’m sure your underwear smell enough to pass by touch….
it depends on how much stain is on the outside… a lot of people almost never wash their jeans.
there’s also any printing, and and kind of wear would be better on the inside… like fuzziness or messing up stitches…. it basically keeps it looking newer.
i’m too lazy for all of that but i do always zip up any zippers so they don’t distort from each other when hot, or snag anything else.
