You never hand wash clothing? There are definitely delicate items that I will always hand wash to ensure they last for as long as possible. If you think a washing machine is a modern equivalent, you'd be wrong. Manually washing something is always the best way to limit potential damage.
Never hand washed.
I do all my soccer kits by hand now. The stickers degrade too quickly in a washing machine, even on the most delicate settings. I also have a really old 100% wool jumper first bought by my great-grandfather that I hand wash to keep it going for as long as possible. I also hand wash my dog in that sink - not sure he'd like the washing machine!
We live in a disposable society. When you have dirty undies, you just throw them in the garbage /s
You joke but in high school I knew this kid who'd moved down from the country and lived by himself - he really did throw out t-shirts instead of washing them.
It was not really a joke.
When my sister was a young adult, living at home, she would go down to Kmart every week and buy a new pack of 7 undies. She just really didn’t like doing her washing.
No she didn’t onsell them in Japanese Vending machines…
I've never owned something so delicate that it wasn't fine on the gentle wash cycle and low heat gentle dryer cycle. I don't know I'd ever want to own something that annoyingly frail as far as clothing goes
