This happened to me with a shirt I got for pride almost a year in advance that said “GAY TRASH” and when I went to wear it all it said was “G AS”

I still think about that to this day

Washing it wrong, check the label, some clothes require specific settings, or need to be inside out

Example: one of my shirts cannot go in the dryer. It has to hang dry.

Precisely, it’s really just a matter fact of reading the tags to understand how to care for the shirt

almost all of those cheap iron on thick ass layered prints do this. they grate your skin then dissolve off the shirt. I’ve taught my 9 year old how to pick out good graphic tees, no shitty iron on mass produced trash.

Its like being a billboard but instead you paid the company a days worth of your labor for the right to advertise on behalf of them while they’re paying others for that same service.

They said “a cool design” and nothing at all about any logo or intellectual property. Maybe it’s a sick dragon playing a guitar.

And don’t use liquid fabric softener

distilled white vinegar, in moderation, can have the same effect, with less severe downsides. my clothes actually dry better with it, since it neutralizes and removes the alkaline detergents that never fully rinse out in a normal water wash. it requires some finesse to know what fabrics to use it on, but I’ve had great results with it

Or use the dryer on low.

The fact that anyone is using anything higher than low for their clothes is shocking. If your clothes aren’t drying, it means you need to split the load into 2 separate ones, people!

People are wildly impatient about the dumbest things. I’ve been trying to push heat pump dryers because they use like a fourth of the electricity of a standard electric dryer but people don’t want to because it takes slightly longer to dry heavy things like towels. But they have the added benefit of using very little heat because they’re abusing the fact that they are condensers and are making the air very very dry so they don’t need as much heat so they are far gentler on clothing

But they just hard refuse Despite the fact i know for an absolute fact all these people wait fucking hours after dryer is done to collect it or move it around. So it’s a worthless argument

Also you can just keep it going. An hour usually does the trick for me, but occasionally I’ll extend it for another 30 mins. I wouldn’t be surprised if that still uses less energy than just 30 mins high.

Plus, I wouldn’t be surprised if the times I do extend it aren’t necessary. Like it’s not even at the damp point, it’s just at the point where it’s ambiguous if they still have a bunch of moisture and have been fine when I decide to just take them out.

Which is another good sign for drying on low: it doesn’t matter if there isn’t any more moisture to evaporate, they are just being warmed instead of cooked.
