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?

Like many in this thread, I like to wash shirts with designs/print on them inside-out to wear out the design more slowly.

For pants, in addition to not wanting rivets/buttons to catch on other clothes, I turn pants inside-out for washing--but I made it a personal rule that I only turn pants inside-out once I have checked and emptied the pockets. So if I'm putting things in the washer and find any right-side out pants, I know to check the pockets (and turn them inside-out) before sending them on their laundry journey. As a result, I don't remember the last time I accidentally washed something in a pocket. ๐Ÿ˜Š
