    I just assumed those tags were placed by lawyers in case someone got upset if their crappy clothes fell apart. I didn’t think most people actually read the.

    Same energy: kitchen implements

    My wooden spatula is cracking and warping after being put in the dishwasher every time, but too bad. I’ll use it until it splinters into pulp

    Not dishwasher “safe” for whom?

    I can’t be bothered with all that and just wash everything at 30c on the quickest setting. Though I do also have to do an extra 1400rpm spin cycle to get rid if the excess dampness as my machine only does max 1000rpm at lower temps.

    My main washing gauntlet is my drying regimen as I tend to max out the radiator. I hate slow dried clothes if they are not dried outside, as thicker shirts and trousers and the elasticated parts of boxers and thick socks get a nasty damp smell if no radiator is involved (shitty northern europe weather).

    I sort/separate so technical gear (hiking gear and other polyester stuff) doesn’t get washed with detergent but don’t see the need to use the more expensive stuff (non chlorine bleach) on regular clothes

        Oh-i wasn’t expecting anyone to ask a follow-up… I think so, tbh it feels like every website says differently and when you read through it’s because they are all advertising a some brand of cleaner.

        Ideally you want the polyester wicking moisture away from you and imo detergent always leaves a waxxy-feeling residual layer that is seemingly less noticeable on clothes made of cotton or other natural fibers.
