I'd say guilty but I do it without shame.

"This shirt is dry clean only... which means it's dirty." -Mitch Hedberg

For real. No pansy ass clothes or dishes in my house. Not machine washable? We'll see. You're about to find out your limits.

Hand wash only you say?

No problem, I'll turn the program wheel on my laundry machine past the hand wash program on the way to the same eco program I use for everything else.

Glad I'm not the only one who does not GAF. I do always have a thing about drying on low heat but that's just me.

Always cold water for everything. Separate colors from any whites you want to stay white. Check known stains as you take them out, and rewash any that remain before you dry those items. Anything new gets one wash by itself unless you love the color so much you want your entire wardrobe to be that shade.

The same with the dishwasher with a few exceptions. Welcome home new storage containers, good luck.

Yeah, if it doesn't survive the laundry gauntlet, I wasn't meant to own it.

I put things to laundry by their vibes (e.g. - stronger or more delicate materials get appropriate wash modes) and only pay attention on labels to whether stuff could be ironed - learned hard way with one of my favourite jackets. 😢

This is nearly identical to a very old Dilbert comic.

Generally speaking you are right but Kashmir wool will shrink if you put it in the washer so don't risk it.

I wash whites separately, that's the extent of my coddling.

Aaand that silk shirt just got fabric softener on it and will slowly unravel.
