How to use the washing machine.

[olimeads]

Right i am a man and i need to wash a shirt for tomorrow, i have the shirt in the washer but what settings do i put it on?

temp?
cycle?
chemicals?


ahhh this is not easy! i can change my own clutch but cant wash a damn shirt!

If it's just one shirt, stick it in the sink! Or buy a new one, it might be quicker

Select dial to - move thread, tumble for 20mins, spin at 1200rpm and your thread will be totally dead with little reply.

My man's guide to washing machines.

All colours & whites together, colour catcher in, synthetics mode, 40 degree, highest spin speed.

When I feel fancy, I chuck a bit of fabric softener in.

[olimeads]

what about drying? tumble dryer or airing cupboard

[missdiane]

There is some white powdery stuff in the cupboard in a box, taste it first just in case, if it tastes like soap and you start frothing at the mouth then it's the right one

Put that in the pull out compartment- not all of it, just equiv of a handful, turn knob to quick wash/half wash, any one will do a wash except
'rinse only' will only do a rinse
'spin only' will only do a spin
funnily enough

30 or 40 degrees

Or I do like abit of fabric softener though, it smells very nice!

It should tell you on the label of the shirt ( the number begin the temp you should have the washer set at ), as for cycle you should have a colored section, if in doubt stick it on that, main thing is the temp, like I said if in doubt stick it in on 40.

Don't just put a shirt in though.

Put some towels or pillow covers or something, just something to bulk it up.. No need to waste a wash on just a shirt.

Yeah.

No.. A shirt on its own won't do any good, it'll have nothing to rub itself against.

I think.

Don't ask me, I've been doing my own washing since I was 12

[condor]

Can't you just wear it again for another day ?
...or buy a new one.

No problem..

Have you put it in yet or are you wasting valuable washing time on PH?

[olimeads]

[olimeads]

Yep, straight in the drum with the clothes.

If you want/have conditoner too put that in the smallest section of the draw.

So far, so good.

FYI the bananna is for structural support.

Good man!

Just a shirt or did you chuck extras in there?

Don't let anyone catch you doing it though, else you'll be doing everyones.
