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 been washing clothes for many decades and although I was also taught to turn some clothes inside out, I’ve never noticed any difference if I didn’t and these days I’ll often wash with them oriented normally, mainly because that’s how I prefer to hang them in the cupboard or fold them into drawers and turning them when wet or after taking them off the line or out of the drier makes the whole process even more tedious than it already is.
