Literally me

OML IM IN THAT SAME SITUATION LMAOO

U can wait...

Have you mastered making scrambled eggs, ironing clothes, and crying yet?

Metrallata lol

@@Metrallata tf is wrong with you? You're a genuine idiot.

bigbilly623 sorry for your loss

Oooof bruh, sorry for your loss. You’ve never done your laundry before that? Good on you for going so long lol

Mark Mendoza Hernandez lol

I been doing the same for 4 years and has totally worked for me too!

I swear to God this comment and the one above it are what really helped me lol

edit: if you do this and dry it and it still comes out musky(still kinda wet) let them go again in another dry cycle.

lol I separate my clothes according color. Towels one load - shirts and jeans another load. Then I look at the tag for the washing instructions. Many clothes say gentle cycle or cold water. Some tags will say no fabric softener or do not put in dryer.

im just like you 😭 18M trying to learn all this shit rn

thats what Im doing rn XD

NO..... YOU hadn't taken the time to ask your parents or ask to "help out" so you gain ur own experience🎉

​@unuesokami8736 most parents have the ability to teach their offspring unprompted with out asking because they think they are valuable skills for children who become adults to have. Also they can always assign chores. Yes asking is important and everything but it is a two way street.

Lmao

LOL I just finished college recently, I’m glad I’m not the only one at 22 trying to figure out laundry 🤣

Hey it's 4 years later did you figure it out yet??

Thank his I thought I was the oldest person who dose not know I turned 18 January I only know how to dry clothes

Im 22 learning

Thank you so much, Emma! We're always so grateful and delighted to hear that the videos are helping people. :D - Mike

I am now in your shoes. can’t believe you’re 25 now

youre 26 now🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂

Omg 😂

Oh, he gave his niece a preshrunk sweater, that's nice. Now she can wash it all she wants to, since it's UNSHRINKABLE.

WilC79 Bruh lol

Mark The Gr8 POWER

This happened to me as well. A boyfriend tossed a wool sweater in the wash and in the dryer. My mother had just bought me this sweater. I said NO! It needs to go to the cleaners because it's wool. He replies I promise I won't ruin it. I pull it out of the dryer and it shrunk. Ugh!

I wear a lot of print shirts and this has drastically slowed the cracking on the pictures!

NO WAY!

On cheaper clothes the tag blurs out after you wash so...

You better read the tag mister

Nah my tags already gone

Basel Kaskas lol

Interesting what about white shoes?

This is the type of humor we need

couldve told me this before i washed my underwear with period blood on it but i got it out anyway with my super techniques 😌

@@selenav1986 Oooo super techniques! Yeah, I use it for period blood. What are these super techniques? Now I'm curious...

@@MadisynBowen LOL i saw that hydrogen peroxide or lemons help with period stains. but try to use one of these then washing immediately after. i just did it and it worked!! this is probably common knowledge but as someone who doesn’t do laundry, this is a miracle to me 😅

My thoughts as a Swedish person: 1 - I have accidentally washed some stuff mixed together and all lighter beige and white garments got a blueish gray hue. :( 2 - Soap? At least if you put dish soap in the dishwasher it WILL foam out on your whole floor (been there). I don't know if you've tried it in the washing machine but I would be a little careful about it at least. 3 - I haven't used fabric softener for years now. Best decision ever, the laundry detergent makes the laundry smell amazing anyways and I have really grown to like the stiffness that comes with newly washed towels and the alike. 4 - True, so many options. Driving me nuts every time. 5 - 30 minutes? Is this another American thing with their supersize super fast washing machines? lol. My washing takes from about 1h 40mins up to 3h. If you rent an apartment in Sweden you have access to the laundry room in the building which have industrial type machines, which go faster (but it's still at least 50-60 minutes for one washing). The downside is that the machines are bigger so you have to have a lot more to fill it with or it will be wasteful.

Why is this gonna be meee😂😂😂😂😂

Fabric softener is apparently not good for your washing machine or your clothes.

I didn’t ask

I asked

It's satisfying in a weird strange way

@@ramirovargas2928 she wasn't even talking to you.

SAME I thought I was crazy. I just started college and just learning how to do laundry and I’m tempted to just clean the lint out of all the dryers while nobody is looking 😂

Awww

i was gong to mention clotheslines too. if you look at how much energy different household appliances use, dryers are REALLY big energy hogs. i live in a place with a long winter, so a clothesline isn't really feasible for half the year, but i love it when i can do it.

Yeah, seriously, use a clothes horse and hang clothes inside. Or hang them on coat hangers on the curtain rail

On the opposite side we have: some clothes can stretch when hung to dry. If you dry them inside, it will lead to high humidity that can be bad for the house structure and general indoor climate. And hanging clothes outside can lead to a bleaching effect from the sun. I'm serious, this is not a "general lightening of the colors over years". One hot day with the sun shining and now I own a black t-shirt that's a faded grey from the middle of my torso down. Only on frontside of course, since that one was facing the sun. That's just one reason why you may want to wash clothes inside-out, since it also wears less on the visible surfaces of your clothes. Or just go full hippie and never wash your clothes. Washing clothes really suck. Drying clothes really suck. And ironing clothes really suck. Actually, I don't want you to go full hippie. Just go full nudist, problem solved.

A june bug got in my shorts. Ain't gonna happen again m8. IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN!

Emerson yes! visiting my family in japan, i noticed that every family has a little balcony or an area inside dedicated to drying your clothes. just a pro tip, make sure that you aren’t drying your clothes in the sun or the colors could wear out over time.

I think that may be a smaller issue now as opposed to a few years ago with the expansive information available online and the ease of across to it. It's not a bad skill to have if it's for something personal but usually for "How to" situations the internet can provide some sort of answer.

@noodlebamboo I'm 9 years late but what should we do about fabrics that contain a percentage of wool? Do we wash them with 100% clothing or separately?

Yessss! And if the bit between the cups is really thin it will twist it and wear that out. I had a bra actually rip in half right in the middle in the dryer. (But at least that didn't happen while I was wearing it. O.o)

***** They actually have lingerie bags that you can wash your bras and panties in. They don't cost much, I got mine for $5 at Walmart. Also, it is a good idea to make sure your bras are hooked before washing them. Otherwise they pose a risk of grabbing/tangling/tearing other bras.

I mostly wash my underwired bras with hand in the wash basin...if I really don't have time then I put it in the pouch with a zipper and drop it into the wash..but never in the dryer

you could do what i always do, which is throw everything in a pile on the floor until i have to wear it, curse myself for not folding it, and wear it until the wrinkles smooth out. and repeat. on second thought maybe don't do that

so basically i just jam to some music while folding things into some vaguely square-ish shape.

esquiggle if you buy stuff that doesn't wrinkle much or is supposed to be wrinkly, it is quite workable strategy

I roll everything. When you have to take it out you don't make a mess with the other clothes and it saves space!

I hang everything. What needs to be folded exactly?

Or buy a downy ball from Walmart. It will release the softener when it’s time. Works great.

Same here. I separate them when they're new and afterwards I just put it all together.

kinda me rn

Great idea! I'll add that to the list. - Mike

Also how to wash new clothes so they don't stain your old clothes.

Joyce De Portabitque I usually wash new clothes separately. ESPECIALLY JEANS. I don't normally separate my laundry into whites vs colors and usually just use the normal warm/cold setting but in my experience anything with indigo dye (jeans, purple rugs, etc.) really need to be washed all on their lonesome at least the first time or two.

Casey Radhs Thanks! I've just started doing my own laundry and don't buy a lot of clothes, but my mom did just buy me a bunch of new stuff and I'm so scared that it will all bleed into my other clothes

WHERE MY ADVANCED LAUNDRY TUTORIAL AT

Not to sound corny, but...man, this comment just makes me so happy. :] - Mike

+How to Adult you do not know how much I need this channel. Googling how to do laundry at 22 😭

Paradox586 I'm 30 lol. I do laundry for my clients but this channel has helped me. lol :O

***** Explain, please?

+Charlie Ramirez You're so welcome! :D - Mike

Better late than never? :] - Mike

mine too :o their button labels are so horrible!

yo=to

Its not mental. My puffy jacket label even instructs the tennis ball technique on its label

Thanks

Adding that to the list. Thank you for the suggestion! - Mike

A few handy tips! A. Iron along the hems. B. Flatten the fabric along your ironing-board and be sure to move it so this is always the case, because otherwise you're totally ironing down wrinkles, friend. C. Always use a water-spray! It'll help with the steam-effect that makes the ironed clothing fresh smooth; and also prevent burn-marks. D. Never. Ever. Ever. Leave the iron in.

I really just throw all of mine in together...I don't own a lot of white.

Why do you bleach your jeans? Doesn't that ruin them?

mickycarcar Nope. You don't pour the bleach _on_ the jeans, just into the wash water. Diluted, it's fine and does its job of knocking out stubborn stains. And after six or seven years, you get these wonderfully soft jeans that are the palest sky-blue ever.

I see. I guess I prefer getting jeans that are so dark you can't see the stains.

I don't think they are aiming to a family's laundry, so i think their explanation is fine, this is for young adults who started to live by themselves and didn't pay that much attention to the laundry at home or don't have that much time.

It's not sexist of someone to not know how. It's sexist to refuse to learn. How about if I didn't know how because my dad had always done it for me?

***** YOU'RE SEXIST! ;)

acomputer121 No doubt. We're all products of the patriarchy. Takes a lifetime to unlearn sexism.

***** Yeah, people just hear "women" and start screaming sexism. Its ok if its guys, then its normal, but not if its women.

acomputer121 My friend is a girl and her dad does all the laundry. Her mom claims that she hasn't had to do laundry since they started dating.

It's coin operated, which means it's a public washing machine, so it's probably not the newest machine ever. There are two types of washing machines in general no matter where you are: top load and front load. This one is a top load machine, one of the older models with the big random stalk in the middle of the basin that doesn't really have any discernible function.

DearestClaudio Its function is to turn constantly and agitate the clothes and water with its corkscrew shape.

DanThePropMan My parents just bought a brand new top load washing machine and it does that just fine without it; it's just a big basin for clothes and water that spins and shakes clothes up on its own. Maybe technological advances in washing machine basin shaking have been more significant than anyone assumed.

DearestClaudio Maybe it's not an essential component to accomplish the task, but I'm pretty sure that's what it does.

It seemed to be the exact machines n my old university laundrette.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog ftw

leahg180 Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

That's what I thought, then I had to reweatch the video o_o

So I guess it's short because they outsourced talking about tag symbols and didn't talk about good folding methods plus a few other things that could have been worked in.
