yeah, I actually washed my nice sweaters and hand-shaped them. I don't know why I didn't remember that whole ordeal.

but, you know, one time. I did that once.

Yeah, I think this is mostly a lady/guy thing. I don't think the Tech Staff would hand wash an item of clothing any more than he would wear lipstick.

I'm not sure I've ever hand washed anything.  I'm not against it though.

My mother used to hand wash stuff. 

I don't wear fancy sweaters.

I hand wash garments all the time, but it isn't ever sweaters, if you're picking up what I'm laying down. Sometimes you just have to hand wash.

I don't think spraying your items with latex cleaner counts as "hand-washing."

I hand wash that stuff, too. Take care of your belongings and they will take care of you.

My husband used to do some hand washing.  He uses the hand wash setting on our machine now a days, and does the hang dry thing.  He has some high tec. thermal undies that he treats with great care.  I never encouraged this behavior in him.  I'm pretty certain he was raised doing this.  He has never asked me to do his laundry in all the time we've been together and will even do some spontaneous loads of the around-the-house stuff that both of us use, such a towels and dish clothes, etc..

I find that washing Pedro's clothes for him is easier and cheaper than replacing them. He's a "wash everything together in one big load, on hot, and then dry it in the dryer on the highest setting it's got" kind of guy.

He also washed all his clothes in fabric softener -- no soap -- for an entire semester at college.

I do the washer thing.

Also, like a month ago I realized I had been using fabric softener instead of soap for the last 2-3 washings.  I bought some detergent.

when i was 9-10, my mom taught me to use the washing machine.  i know the basics and all my clothing is either white or not white.  none of it is special needs clothing, but i dry it all on medium to minimize shrinkage.

thats one thing i dont need a lady for; domestic stuff.
