Had a discussion where they claimed it doesn't matter whether you wash your clothes inside out or not. I've always been taught that because of your body oil, skin and odour, it is best to turn your clothes inside out. What do you do?

Jeans, yes definitely. The material is pretty thick and it's a good way to ensure it's clean. Also, it prevents the metal parts from bashing the inside of the washing machine.

I'm not actually positive it's better for cleaning, but it's just how my mother taught me how to do laundry when I was a child. :)

Jesus christ this seems so obvious and yet I've never thought of it even though I wash other clothes like jackets inside out (and zipped up).

I got really good at replacing zipper pulls before I realized I could do that
