how do you wash your clothes.....??? inside out or....???

For 2 years of living alone without my washing machine to depend on, I've been doing the laundry in this manner (steps): 1. I soak clothes (separately, depending on the clothing and color) in water with detergent for an hour or so... this will make the stains easy to wash off later. 2. Then, I'll handwash them on both sides. First on the outside, then I turn it inside out to handwash the insides, this is done so because I'll be hanging these clothes later inside out (to prevent the sun's direct contact from damaging the outside of the clothes) 3. Then I'll rinse the clothes three times, with my favorite scented fabric softener on the 3rd rinse.. There! They're so clean now and really smells great! :D

I just throw them in. Is there a special reason you wash them inside out? I don't usually think about it, i just figure all the bad stains or spots are on the front, so i would want that to hit the detergent first.

I don't even pay attention to them if they are inside out or not. i just throw them in piles and by color and wash them

Some of my clothes go into the washer inside out and some of my clothes just go in the other way. Does it make a difference which way they go in because when they come out they are the opposite so I am assuming both sides get washed thoroughly. I do try to separate my colors and my whites to make sure the colors do not bleed on my other clothes.

I usually wash my clothes outside but my family turn the inside out and that makes me so pissed because Im like well what if they do not wash your clothes good or the way you want

I wash my clothes the way I take them off. I don't really flip them one way or another. So they way they come off, is the way get get washed. I'm just lazy, i guess! :o)

I have always washed my items inside out. I was taught years ago that turning the clothing inside out helped to prolong the life of the garment and prevented picks and nicks on the item's right side. Whether this is all true or not is beyond me! I just got in the habit of doing it!

I believe jeans are supposed to be washed inside out and hung out that way so the sun doesn't fade them. BVut they are going to fade no matter what you do. I have a cover on my line because the sun is too hot and detrimental to the care of fabrics. The water here is also harsh and the sun combined with the water wears out clothes very quickly, the colours and the fabric itself.

I usually throw them in the washer and let them go, I usually hang out my clothes and let them line dry outside .

I put them in washing machine and I agree with you that clothes should be washed inside out.

yes inside out

Like you do, I always wash my clothes inside out. Because I see grimes from my sweat sticking at the inside. It becomes easy to clean that part. I do not have washing machine. So I clean it manually.

Hi Apakabar, I also wash my clothes inside out. But I just toss them directly in the washing machine afterwards. And I also take note of stained items, which would be scrub by hand after the washing machine stops spinning. (^^,)

Things like my jeans I normally turn inside out! Other stuff I just chuck in the washer... I used to be very lazy and not bother separating my whites and colours, but due to ruining so many clothes I take the time to sort them.... Oh and checking the pockets for tissue too! :0)

Since young I have always been taught by my mother than clothese should always been washed, turned out, as she claims that this will be more effective in cleaning out any dirt that miught be stuck to the clothes and also to prevent colours from wearing out.

What im supposed to wash my clothing. Wow I did not know this hehehe. Im kidding I just throw mine in the wash. I seperate colors and all but thats it. If I have a special item I will hand wash to preserve it.

I aalways wash my clothes inside out. It is much better that way. I put the delicate items in a mesh bag and throw them in with the other clothes.

i just trow then on the machine. how ever, i have to separete colors. strong color wash last then white and soft. i don't want my white shirt turning into purple or black. lol

I don't have the opportunity to wash my cloth with machine so I do wash my cloths with my hands.

I wash mine inside out as well using the washing machine. I find that really helps in preventing the fading. I also only wash using cold wash.
