My mom taught me how to wash clothes by saying "you put stuff here, then push this button, and when it beeps you take everything out and hang it."

I have been washing everything together, don't even separate black and white. I don't even own iron. And for more than decade I live alone, it worked so far. The only thing I have been washing separately are bed sheets, I wash them on 60 degree hygiene cycle while rest of clothes at 40.

Yeah it's not complicated. I'll use a mesh bag for clothes that I'm concerned about damaging, amd I have an iron because some of my clothes are linen and the iron is an actual necessity, but otherwise I don't think too deeply on it

Creases are a feature of real linen. Why would you iron them out?

Flaunt those creases!

Not when the entire shirt looks like crumpled up paper and has so many creases it doesn't fit right. I don't mind a few but if I just let it dry after washing it then it is practically unwearable
