If you wash and dry a load of laundry, you also have to be prepared to fold it, and put it away. It's not really helping otherwise.

@RickiTarr The folding part is the bit I enjoy.

And nearly everyone should be responsible for putting away their own laundry. One should only ever have themself to blame for being unable to find a piece of clothing in their own wardrobe. (Children graduate to putting away their clothes when they graduate to dressing themselves)

@LovesTha Yay someone to fold

@RickiTarr Our fix - we flat-stack our laundry right out of the dryer and it stays neat unfolded. Sometimes we stack it neatly before washing too.

@RickiTarr I hate the folding part.

@RickiTarr This was honestly the biggest message that came through to me from the movie, "Everything Everywhere All At Once" If I really love my partner, I should be willing to continue doing his laundry FOREVER! 🥺

@RickiTarr Honestly one of the best habits I've developed over the past few years. I used to just live out of my laundry basket and it would take forever to put it away. Now I just remind myself that it takes about 15 minutes and then I'm done for the week.

My mornings are also a lot easier now.

We mostly just pull clothes out of the dryer and put them on. 😂

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@argv_minus_one That works too lol

I sometimes wish for a decent clothes-line where the wind will do the job for nowt. Clothes that have had a good thrashing in the wind rarely need ironing 😉

@RickiTarr my wife won't let me wash or fold her clothes. should we talk to someone.

@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@fitzbew248 LOL nah she's just setting healthy boundaries

So if you're not ready for that level of commitment, it's best not to start.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@venya You can just start playing, Is it really dirty? LOL

@venya@musicians.today avatar

@RickiTarr

Until it actually goes in the laundry bag, it's an open question. Like if it's just on the floor, well, yeah, maybe the open air has sanitized it somehow. Once it goes in the bag, it needs to go in the machine.

hybridhavoc,
@hybridhavoc@darkfriend.social avatar

@RickiTarr Yes, folding and putting it away are just steps in the "doing laundry" task. If you skip out on those, you can't claim to have done the laundry.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

So maybe this is personal, maybe I found three loads of clean wrinkly laundry stacked around, and I'm being a baby about it! LOL

Kierkegaanks,
@Kierkegaanks@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr people don’t do this all the time?

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@Kierkegaanks They probably do! My dad would stack washed laundry on the couch until it became a mountain and then bribe us all into having a folding party, by promising that we could rent some movies to watch while we did it. Surprisingly effective, honestly.

Kierkegaanks,
@Kierkegaanks@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr i have definitely never worn clothes in the order they were piled on a chair

@Kierkegaanks @RickiTarr
I am in this post and it makes me uncomfortable.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@realtegan @Kierkegaanks We've all done it. It's the same with washing the dishes, but not wanting to put them away.

FiveSeventeen,
@FiveSeventeen@bahn.social avatar

@RickiTarr

I just did exactly that (washing and putting them away)

@realtegan @Kierkegaanks

@RickiTarr

Do sheets count?

None in my household are very good with folding sheets.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@DrGeof It's hard work, I do my best, and just stuff the folded sheets into one of the pillowcases so no one can see how poorly I did

DrGeof,
@DrGeof@mastodon.social avatar

@RickiTarr

I did not think of that possibility.

Nice solution!

Peternimmo,

@RickiTarr can't get the staff?

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@Peternimmo I am the staff baby! LOL

Alice, (edited )
@Alice@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr Oh, neat. I guess I'll just throw this in the washer and dryer ALL OVER AGAIN to give these clothes a second chance at not being a wrinkly mess.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@Alice What else would make sense?!

elverkonge,
@elverkonge@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr @Alice who am I trying to impress? wear as is.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@elverkonge @Alice Wrinkles are fine 90% of the time. To be honest, I mostly try to find clothes that don't wrinkle, but I do love a cute Hawaiian shirt

Alice,
@Alice@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr I feel you. I hate ironing so I'll just repeat the entire process to avoid it.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@Alice Same, it's the worst

@DemocracySpot@mstdn.social avatar

@Alice @RickiTarr

Wet a washcloth and throw it in the dryer with your wrinkleds. 🙂

Holberg,
@Holberg@mstdn.social avatar

@RickiTarr Haha I hate clutter and this having been there for even 15 minutes is already annoying me, but…I’ve only got myself to blame because I live alone.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@Holberg I feel like we all have a space in our home where laundry seems to accumulate

Holberg,
@Holberg@mstdn.social avatar

@RickiTarr I can only imagine the scale of it all when it’s multiple loads from multiple people haha.

RickiTarr,
@RickiTarr@beige.party avatar

@Holberg Just adding my Mom's in when she moved it felt like so much more

@RickiTarr As long as Mt. Clean is taller than Mt. Dirty, you're adulting in some measure.
