Do you know how to do laundry?

[theburning]

It seems that Realist has no idea how to.
My personal favorite part is when he says that it has a spinning thing.

Here is our convo on him having no clean clothes...he begins by asking me how to do laundry!

xyxaxyz says:
i need some for tomorrow too though! how do you do it?
so says:
it takes a few hrs?
so says:
how can you have 0 ?
so says:
what kind of washer do you have?
xyxaxyz says:
a cube one
so says:

xyxaxyz says:

xyxaxyz says:

xyxaxyz says:

xyxaxyz says:

[Jeffery]

rofl.....

That makes me.... sad.

[theburning]

I laughed harder than I ever have when it happened about a minutes ago.

A cube one!
lol.

He's going to call me so I can walk him through it one step at a time.
I've already gotten him to seperate the colors !

[kvon78]

you are a miracle worker!
unfortunetly though i still cant do laundry...or anything else for that matter, come to think of it i dont even know if i have a cubed one... :(

[theburning]

Well, aren't they all cubed for the most part?

I guess mine is more rectangular shaped.
It doesn't have a spinny thing though...it's a front loading one.

[kvon78]

a once saw a cylinder one on tv...i think it had a spinny thing...cant be too sure though :confused:

[TheBlazedAce]

I deem realist pathetic. Doesn't know how to do laundry. *mumbles to self while shaking head*

[Liquid Swordsman]

Well, I'm with Realist on this one, I have absoultly no idea how to do it. All I see is a white box with a bunch of nobs on it :confused:

[Realist]

Thanks, Leanne. :)

Learn something new from you every day. :)

I love you.

[Blexican]

Edit : wrong thing to say

[.Vash.]

[Blexican]

The washer is easy. Its easier than beating vash in tao very simple. :rolleyes:

[.Vash.]

You wanna repeat that?

[Jeffery]

Hey guys, do your laundry here. bullshit each other in the bathroom.

[theburning]

Thanks.

I was about to say the same thing.

I thankfully just finished doing all of my laundry!

[dirka dirka]

I do! Sometimes.

[Jeffery]

I usually forget, and wait until I run out.

I have bought nerw socks just because I was too lazy to wash a load.

Good news is I have like 50 pairs.

[Realist]

Wow.

Washing machines are pretty amazing.

[Jeffery]

Wow.

Washing machines are pretty amazing.
You have now taken one more step towards being self sufficient.

*claps*

[.Vash.]

Better then useing the old things where you use a bucket and soap and that stupid thing with the rolls on it im to lazy to look it up right now >_<.

[Jeffery]

You mean a Washboard?
http://2rsite.com/washboard/

Yeah yeah. Washboards are SOOO exciting.

I work it every year. 3 days of 9am until 11pm listening to people play washboards and crap.

[theburning]

Wow.

Washing machines are pretty amazing.

I wish I could rep you for that. :)

[xerent]

I still don't seperate colors... my clothes come out just fine.

[theburning]

I still don't seperate colors... my clothes come out just fine.

Well! If you always wash your whites with darks they will gradually turn less white.

Also, when you first get a new pair of jeans etc. that method can be quite traumatizing.

[Jeffery]

Yes.

But guys simply don;t care. Except for business attire, the rest can just be mixed randomly.

[ko71991]

Wow.

Washing machines are pretty amazing.

*tear* Such a beautiful sight watching education do its job.

[Punishment Co.]

Wahoo.. I just did two loads today. I have realized I keep wearing a T-shirt plus a jacket over for the past few days! So, I decided to do laundry.

[ko71991]

I have to do my own laundry. I do everything that benefits me on my own. And I'm only 14.

Front loading washers are more economical and more advanced than top-loaders, but Americans are loath to bring them into widespread use because of the need to bend over farther in order to load the washer. Crazy, eh?

[GreenS@murai!]

im gonna tell all you ppl how you do the laundry

1. Gather all dirty clothes, socks, underwear, bras etc etc...
2. Seperate the colors. One pile being dark colors/shirts that have large amounts of colors besides white and the other pile is white clothes, socks.
3. choose one pile (usually the white)and put it in the washer.
4. Add a measured amount of detergent (see detergent box/bottle for amount). The larger the load the more detergent.
5. set the timer to the correct time (usually around 40-70 min) and set the type of wash (usualy cold).
6. press the start button. (sometimes its on the dial that sets the time, if there is not start button pull up or push down on the dial)
7. let it wash (dont forget to close the lid)
8. repeat steps 1-7 for the second load of clothes

now this is how you dry clothes

1. take both loads of washed clothes (color and white)
2. put them in the dryer.
3. add a softener (it helps)
4. make sure the lint filter is cleaned off, if not clean it by removing the lint
5. set the load amount, the time (usually around 70 min), and the other choices (light, heavy, tumble dry, spin dry etc...)
6. press start or pull/push dial. Wait for it to stop drying

[Jeffery]

If you are doing whites, use hot, or at least warm water.

Even colors should use warm/cold. Only new clothes need washed in cold to set the dye one last time.

Washing stuff in cold water is toning down the quality of the cleaning itself.

Also, most wash cycles are 12-20 minutes. Dryer cycles are the higher ones.

[GreenS@murai!]

hmmm i never wash my clothes in warm....whats the difference. and 12-20 minutes? the time depends on your load doesnt it?

[Jeffery]

The difference is how clean it is.
Do you wash dishes in cold or hot water? Do you wash hands in cold or hot water?
Hot water cleans better, due to the fact it excites the dirt molecules and allow them to be broken up easier.

And the only difference the load size matters is how much water gets put into the washer.
And timed cycles are smaller than what you gave. Permanent Press is easier to use anyways.

They do a much better job on the clothes too!

I really love mine !

[Glamdring]

Thanks Jeff. This has been a learning experience.

My mom always separates light and dark AND warm and cold. So in an effort to cut down on the amount of work I had to do, I've always washed everything cold. I figured while warm wash stuff can't be hurt by being washed cold, cold wash stuff can be hurt by being washed warm.

Perhaps I've been wrong all along. Maybe I'll ruin some cold wash clothes tonight, or maybe I'll start cleaning my clothes more efficiently all around. :)

[actgfin1234]

Wow, two moderators both spelled separate wrong. I won't mention any names.
:)

[psychofireman]

or you could put lights and darks in the same load. it makes for an interesting outcome

[bludhoundz]

My basement has 1 front load washer and about 5 top load ones. The front load one can do more clothes so it costs more 0_o (I live in apartment building, they embezzle your money through laundry).

I can sort of do laundry, but I just wait for the cleaning lady mostly (I have so many pairs of clothes that I can go a long time without needing to do laundry).

[MokoToko]

Could it be because they are more expensive? I highly doubt that any american would make that decision because its easier to load it in the top than the front; unless they have a medical condition where they can't bend over.

I've got a front loaded washer. but she ain't good for much else

[Ignition]

Well, I'm with Realist on this one, I have absolutely no idea how to do it. All I see is a white box with a bunch of nobs on it :confused:
Maybe try turning some of them....

ya you get... bland/ lightdark
Hey! then you never need to sort the coloers ever again... they all gray!

[Duffman]

I think front loaders are better because they rotate on a horizontal axis... meaning clothes go from top to bottom when spinning... Which is better than a top loader because the clothes at the bottom stay at the bottom, those at the top stay at the top and because gravity would push the cleaning liquid to the bottom they clean inconsistantly between the garments in each wash.

I'm no washing machine expert i'm just guessing :p

[Jeffery]

Commercial front loaders are even more awesome.

You can do all your laundry in one load.

[Zeratul]

some day I would like to buy two rusted-beat washers and race them like they did in The Simpsons.

[Jeffery]

You could enter it into the Ridden category of the annual Tool Drag races.

[Tama Drummer]

I've been doing my own wash for a while now since my mother (who used to do my wash) got annoyed at me complaining when none of my clothing was ever washed, since I barely have enough clothing for one week. We have both a front loader and a bottum loader (not sure if that's actually what they're called). I use the front loader.

[T3km4n]

One time I put my friend in the Dryer. Oh, what a great time.

EDIT: Wait, Tama, a BOTTOM loader? How the hell do you get the clothes in from there?

[Jeffery]

We used to get in the big dryers at the laundry mat, and see who could ride it the longest.
