Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

Depends on the item
Anything with a print or similar (e.g. football shirts with numbers) should definitely be inside out
Socks definitely out...side..out(?), don't ask why, they just are
Things with buttons or zips that might catch on other things get turned inside out too (unless that would exacerbate the issue)
I think unless I'm forgetting something everything else is que sera, sera
Oil and odour, etc won't really be affected by inside out or not, that's more down to the detergents/temperature you're using. Though caveat, a lot of modern clothing is designed to be washed at 30°C so it's pretty much all about the detergents you use these days. And on that note, if you're having issues with stuff not coming out feeling/smelling completely fresh at lower temps, look into ditching the fabric softener for soda crystals and/or a laundry sanitiser additive (Dettol make one that's good). Both were game changers for this guy who has a tendency to get pretty sweaty in summer.
