Are washcloths only for poor people?

I use washcloths. I grew up using them in my family home.

I thought everyone used them till one day in grade school I spent the night at a friend's house.

I grew up using them. Still have them in the bathroom but mostly don't them anymore.

I keep some in my nightstand

As cumrags

I use a linen cloth that helps slough off dead skin and lather. If you hang it in the sun, baby jjebus sanitizes it.

I wash my face with one nightly.

Who are the two obnoxious imbeciles on that video? They should know that classy, old money people would NEVER talk about "the poor" and their habits in public, especially in a disparaging manner. It makes you look like a tacky nouveau riche desperate to differentiate yourself from the people in your pre-wealthy social circle, which is shamefully petty and reeks of insecurity. Truly upper class people are sure of their position, so they don't need to behave in such an undignified manner.

With that said, a loofah or sponge will suffice, but washcloths are preferable to just using your hands, as you need to wash away crystallized minerals and oils from sweat, as well as skin cells. Your hand alone cannot achieve that. Apparently, being classless and stupid go hand in hand, and that is why these two idiots are stupid enough to vomit out all this nonsense right in front of the entire planet.

My gym provides towels...bath-sized and hand towels. You pick folded, clean ones out of laundry baskets as you check in. I always use one of the hand towels as a washcloth. The gym also provides soap, shampoo, and conditioner in dispensers in each shower stall, but I bring my own bottle of soap...Ax or Dove. Using the hand towel as a wash cloth lets me lather up really well.

At home, I use a wash cloth to wash my face.

Who are the morons at OP? They don't know what they're talking about.

Love a good soft flannel (wash cloth). Great for removing dead skin etc. JD Vance must use one to get rid of his eye make-up each night?

[quote]JD Vance must use one to get rid of his eye make-up each night

I'm guessing that JD's a Coets gal.

Washcloths are an essential part of good hygeine, and anyone who doesn't use one needs immediate education and rehabilitation.

R10, silly me, of course.

We may be poor but at least we are clean!

I use a washcloth to wash my face in the morning and another one at night.

I also use three, yes three, washcloths in the shower. Upper body, lower body and feet. Scrub your feet people! I have a separate extra-long back washing cloth.

Snark away!

I use one of those Japanese silicone scrubber things, which I get on Amazon. They're very hygenic and they get you squeaky clean.

Always trust the Japanese when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene.

Do you people re-use washcloths or do you use a clean one each time you shower?

The Japanese also have a soap for old people nonenal smell available on Amazon. It's made from persimmons.

Is DL only for morons?

r18 you need a good douche.

I use a fresh, clean washcloths each time I shower. I'm not recycling dead skin cells.

I have two dozen washcloths.

I wash all the washcloths separately in a hot cycle to get all that dead skin off.

I also use a fresh bath towel to dry off after every shower. I have a dozen bath towels.

If you don’t use a washcloth, your neck is dirty and behind your ears probably smells like cheese.

Dermatologists will tell you that towels are unsanitary and magnets for bacteria. And I would never use a towel provided by a gym. You don't know how well those are washed and could be teeming with staph and other bacteria and viruses. You could be using the same towel that another gym member used to wipe their pubic area just hours before.

I remember in high school learning most whites don’t use wash clothes. Complete mind fuck.

R19 I ask because I see a plethora of idiots here.

R22, gym towels reek of bleach and the heat of the dryer kills anything the bleach missed.

Do you bring your own sheets and towels to hotels?

Gyms are pretty stringent about laundering towels. Every gym I've ever been to washes their towels in hot water with a shitload of bleach.

I thought washcloths were only used by old people. They seem really old-timey to me.

Everyone uses washcloths, only an idiots filthy one wouldnt

r28 there are other things besides washcloths to wash with.

Ok, so the reason not to use a washcloth is that your body has a natural layer of protection against bacteria and viruses and such called the horny layer(yes really). Scrubbing with a wash cloth depletes this layer more than bare hands.

Also while bathing carries benefits of removing potentially harmful things from your skin and is necessary for social interaction studies have found it doesn't really have a large effect on bacteria. So using bare hands is more beneficial health wise since you're possibly making yourself more vulnerable to infection by using a cloth.

I grew up using washcloths and provide them for guests which get used.

I use wash gloves now to exfoliate.

You tell yourself that, r30

No, I'm not poor and didn't grow up poor and I use a washcloth. If I wash my face without one, water runs down my arms and gets all over; the washcloth absorbs.

Who the fuck cares as long as your fucking ass takes a shower! Losers!

I don’t care if you fucking dental floss in the shower as long as you wash your fucking crevice!!

DL is not the place to come to for body hygiene advice.

Never used one, OP.

Now, a worshrag, yes.

I haven’t used one since I was 12.

When I was a kid and poor, we had washcloths. Now I am neither, so definitely don’t use them.

R30 That’s exactly why I stopped using them. But wash clothes were big in black and Puerto Rican households when I was coming up.

I would guess wash clothes came about before people had running water and therefore needed to clean oneself more thoroughly. Blacks probably still continued to use wash clothes after slavery because many were sharecroppers, ie only lowly paid slaves, and had to wash that body after working outside all mafuckin day.

Washcloths for the face only.

I know some people think that using washcloths in the shower is the only way to get clean - which is nonsense. Particularly when they leave he washcloths in there to re-use. Fucking nasty.

This is a contentious debate because people who use washcloths in the shower are adamant it's better - even though those things are bacteria magnets.

Guess what? You can LAUNDER and DRY a washcloth.

What is the name of the bald headed dude?

Wash Cloth Trick From Reddit For Big Hair People:

Hi, do you suffer from TV preacher hair? Does your hair wake up and wave a half hour before you do? In the old days when we had carts with square wheels and Mop&Glo was an anal lubricant as well as a floor coating, you had to thoroughly shampoo, lather, and rinse your hair to get the dents out.

However, A wrung-out washcloth, steaming from a soak in very hot water, placed on top of the head and left in place while attending to dentifrice and shaving - Your hair will be moisturized and manageable! Yay, you billy-goat headed person too lazy to jump in the shower.

I use a clean one every time I shower because I wash my asshole with it.

Soap, used with a washcloth, rinses the brown word away, R46. That washcloth is clean once you rinse it properly. You may re-use it. Of course, fancy people probably have a drying rack for shit rags so that they don’t cross-contaminate other dirty linens and clothingses. I imagine wealthy people have a person who hands them a top body washcloth, followed by a brown lower body washcloth. Perhaps the bathing aide also shaves testicles….

[quote] and had to wash that body after working outside all mafuckin day.

Can you just STOP?! Seriously! I'm African American and I don't even text my friends dumb made up words like "mafuckin" just stop it already R41. While its true that many of us use slang in our speech, you seem to go out of your way to dumb your posts down to SNL levels of parody. Its why most of us here don't think you are who you claim you are. It's too over the top.

We may be poor but we don’t use a dirty ass washcloth more than once before laundering it.

Something like this is pure DL catnip

Like the epic flame war many years ago when people were fighting over whether or not soccer moms shopped at JC Penney

R48 I don’t give a fuck what people think. I will never stop being me.

Middle Class Person: “I haven’t been able to bathe for two days; my ball shaver called off sick.”

Only if you call it a warshcloff

Lemme guess r27, you don’t sleep with a top sheet either.

r54 I sleep on top of a down comforter with a blanket over me. I haven't used proper bedsheets since I was a kid.

They exfoliate without pain.

Yes I use a washcloth. And top sheets. I wasn’t raised in a barn.

[quote]Yes I use a washcloth. And top sheets. I wasn’t raised in a barn.

The things that DLers consider class markers always make me laugh. Persnickety old prisspots who live in some bizarre past. They're still pissed that people don't dress formally when they fly on planes: "Mother would be appalled! Appalled I tell you!"

R58, bed some guy who doesn’t use a top sheet. Odds are that his pillows are going to smell of hair. And he could be a midnight booger roller. Nasty habits snowball (and he probably can’t snowball).

r59 you're kissing him on the mouth, sucking his dick and eating his ass. A few hairs on the pillow really shouldn't be a concern.

Put a blanket or comforter on the mattress and use that instead of a top sheet. WTF are these fussy queens bitching about that not having a tip sheet is some awful unsanitary abomination? Your body isn't touching the bare mattress.

Oh dear

The DL prisspots are in a league of their own, with their bizarre opinions.

Lawdy, these piss-elegant Datalounge queens...Horrified by washcloths, but, they head on down to Provincetown, crawl under the Dick Dock & gnaw the anal warts off of monkeypox carriers.

I like the feel of smooth, soft sheets against my naked body. Top and bottom.

If you use both top and fitted sheets, it’s easier to isolate the jizz odor next day. Rolling your top sheet over your comforter saves you three dryer cycles.

R61 is posting from his dirty old mattress under the freeway.

To make a bed: mattress pad over mattress. Fitted sheet over mattress pad. Flat sheet over fitted sheet. Top with blanket:/comfortor/duvet/quilt. Wash your ass with a washcloth before getting in bed and wash your sheets at least every two weeks.

Pillow too, R67! Remind them to wash the pillows! I don’t want to bite your nicotine-scented French grain sack pillow! My un-hushed screams are not sexy!

[quote] I will never stop being me

Actually from my house in Fairfield County which you could likely never afford. I don't do my own laundry.

I can picture you making that fussy bed with Mother over your shoulder, berating you for not doing it right.

I use my hand. Once a week, I use a body scrub for exfoliation.

[quote]Wash your ass with a washcloth before getting in bed and wash your sheets at least every two weeks.

Two weeks? That's gross. And no one I know uses washcloths. Get a silicone scrubber, a flat body scrubber or an organic Egyptian loofah. They're more hygenic and get you really clean.

R74, just the one hand?

This is why we can’t have publicly funded baths. You are supposed to clean up before joining others in the pool. Too many people do not observe reasonable hygiene protocol.

I want to get naked with ugly people and you’re making it unpossible.

So if you don't use a washcloth, do you stick your silicon body scrubber or loofah up your ass or just use your bare hand? Or maybe you don't bother cleaning your crack?

^^what an idiotic question

No washcloth since my skin went dry with medications, just soap only my hair, pits, groin, and feet, let the water wash the rest.

We use scrubs or sponges or just hands in Europe. I've only ever seen black Americans use them on TV. So yeah, it's for poor people.

I always laugh when I see lower class people make pronouncements about what the poors do or pretend they know how actual wealthy people behave, use, or believe.

[quote]Actually from my house in Fairfield County which you could likely never afford. I don't do my own laundry.

Well, smell you!

[quote] Get a silicone scrubber, a flat body scrubber or an organic Egyptian loofah. They're more hygenic and get you really clean

How are they more hygienic? Do you put them in the wash after each use?

Washcloths do the job just fine. If you go to any home goods department and specialty stores there are plenty of them. They also replace them daily when you stay in a hotel. People from all walks of life and means do use them.

[quote]People from all walks of life and means do use them.

I don't think so. See r81's post.

In my country, owning a washcloth is a symbol of great wealth and power.

[quote] We use scrubs or sponges or just hands in Europe. I've only ever seen black Americans use them on TV. So yeah, it's for poor people.

Speak on Europe and Europe only you racist cunt. With all the crap going on over there from the pathetic housing crisis and white europeans quickly being replaced by Muslims, you have no business calling anyone "Poor." Unless we are talking about your poor attempt at edgy humor. You dont know shit about black americans. Stick with the limited things you know about R81.

I've also heard that washcloths are a black thing.

Warsh rag

This seems to be one of those new debates. I think some people tried to make it a race issue; now, it's a class issue. I use a washcloth mainly because my Mom and Dad used washcloths. Currently, I only use a washcloth to wash my hole. I mostly use a brush with that special sponge on the end that makes the body wash foamy.

I grew up in the South. We always used them. Towel sets typically included them. I take washcloths with me every time I travel abroad as they are not common outside of the US.

R88 It’s definitely very common in our households. Less so since body wash rather than bar soap has become common. Even my half Latino mom, whose culture is definitely not AA still uses them.

I wash myself with a rag on a stick

I don't want a damp,moldy cloth full of hair and dead skin hanging out in my bathroom. That's fucking gross.

My mom would wash our wash clothes daily in the sink with bleach.

Wow that's ghetto

I approve of washcloths as long as they are well made and coordinated with both the hand towels and bath towels. I do not approve of the free ones that came in boxes of detergent back in the '60s which apparently some people hung on to these floral print monstrosities!

Washcloth here, 100%. And none of that body scrub shit. A good moisturizing soap. Get the washcloth wet, lather it up with soap and start from upper body down. No need to scrape your skin with it as though you're trying to remove a food stain from the oven. Just gentle run the washcloth over your skin and then rinse. Shampoo hair afterwards. I don't use a washcloth to wash my ass however. That's strange. That demands a separate cleaning using shampoo and a finger. In this I am unanimous. Washcloths are NEVER reused. They are laundered after every use. Towels, on the other hand, are used AFTER you have just cleaned your body. They can be used two or even three times, but only in dry climates. In humid climates, twice at the most.

I have two tupes of them. One for cleaning my face and body in that order (then into the laundry hamper.) I use them about half the time I bathe or shower. The other a big stack of cheap cotton was cloths that I keep stuck away in the kitchen and bathrooms at the ready for spills and cleaning chores (not my face.)

For both purposes I use them once only and then they go into the laundry.

R96 Is it ghettoer than a white refrigerator?

R61, I assume you mean “put it on the bottom sheet”. Anyway, if the comforter is next to your body every night, it has to be washed as often as a sheet would be. If you have a maid who does your laundry, well, nice. Most people who don’t use a top sheet use a duvet with a duvet cover. The cover is washed the same way and as often as a sheet would be.

Anyway, I use sheets, top and fitted, because I like the way they feel. I use a washcloth on my face (just the face) because my face feels cleaner afterward. I don’t know and don’t care if it actually is cleaner. It feels nicer, and that’s a good enough reason. The snob-based arguments here are hilarious; nothing could be more middle-class than choosing which linens and bath towels to use based on whether they seem more or less “poor”.

We haven't a great DL debate this spicy in years and years!

I have stacks of cotton washcloths and stacks of microfibre cloths. I also have stacks of cotton muslin towels and stacks of sturdy kitchen towels.

I go through many many every week.

Microfibre stays better if it's never washed with cotton.

I wash cotton at very high temps.

All cloths are mostly used once then hung to dry over night then put in the laundry basket. I only do laundry once a week.

Kitchen towels are used for week, however or until they get gunked up if its sooner.

I use separate flannel washcloths for face and body, and they go into a boil wash after one use. I have tons of them, and my skin always looks good. Those two in the video are snooty bitches.

Stacks and stacks of all kinds of towels yet kitchen towels get changed once a week or until gunked up?

I don’t get it. Even I change my kitchen towel (yes, just the one) more often than once a week.

I have several kitchen towels around the kitchen, that's why. I don't use the towels for anything but drying dishes and my hands.

Cloths that are used for cleaning dirty things and people get washed after one use. How dirty is a clean dish?

How dirty is a body that just came out of a shower? Yet DLers are boiling their bath towels after each use.

Agreed, R106. That's what paper towels are for.

[quote]How dirty is a clean dish?

I only use paper plates and plastic utensils at home, so I don't have to worry about that.

R109. And you only order takeout too because that is the only way your post makes sense.

[quote] And you only order takeout too because that is the only way your post makes sense.

Holy fuck, R58, ever hear of a joke? Part of coming on DL is not taking shit so seriously. I may be an old prisspot, but that must make you a humorless Gen Z.

[quote] You could be using the same towel that another gym member used to wipe their pubic area just hours before.

Only if you're lucky.

It takes the washcloth from the basket or else it gets the hose again.

[quote,]You could be using the same towel that another gym member used to wipe their pubic area just hours before.

Of course it wash used on someone's pubic area. The pubic area was wet and the towel used to dry off, no? Or so people where you come from was their pubic area with a stick and then incinerate it immediately? And do you think, instead of "just hours before," it would be better if the towel had wiped someone's pubic area days before and sat in a fetid pile of soiled towels for the better part of a week before washing?

How do you exfoliate without a washcloth? I just wouldn't feel clean.

The Neighborhood sitcom addressed the washcloth issue with black Tichina Arnold and white Beth Behrs.

People who use wash clothes—do you launder them after every use? Seems like a lot of work. And if you don’t—ew.

Yes, r123 I launder after every use and I launder them separately and in hot water.

After I get out of shower, I wring out washcloth very well and hang it in shower so it isn't bunched up but rather flat. The next day before I get in the shower, I take the dry cloth from yesterday and toss it in hamper and replace with fresh one.

I have 24 wash cloths so plenty to get me through the week.

Yall all mafuckin full of shit. We was rich af and my granny had stacks of washcloths in every bathroom.

Adding: I don't use a washcloth on my ass crack. I use my lathered-up hand.

Additionally, I don't have a bidet so I use several wet wipes after a BM so my ass is not actually dirty when I get in the shower DAILY.

Washcloths for the face are great for removing soap and moisturizers/sun screen. Splashing your face with water is really messy - and you still need to dry off.

But you're not supposed to exfoliate your whole body every day - even with a gentle use of a washcloth.

Some of you claim to use a fresh washcloth each shower - but I've never seen anyone do that in reality. Most people think - well, it's just soap on the cloth, I can re-use it again.

The added laundry for the shower washcloths would be too much for me - plus the mildew smell creeps in on those small wet cloths very quickly.

R127 you inspect peoples laundry? I know most of the people in this thread who say they use a wash cloth once are not lying. It's a very simple behavior and it's healthy for the skin.

Perhaps, you're a dirty pig.

And most of us who do it but don't have someone washing everyday follow the same habit. You wash, then you wring the washcloth and hang it to dry. THEN throw it in the laundry. No mildew.

I don't use the same bath towel two showers in a row, either. They hang to they are bone dry. Then perhaps get used again, or perhaps get thrown in the laundry.

[quote]plus the mildew smell creeps in on those small wet cloths very quickly.

That's why you wring them out and lay them flat in the shower to dry. Don't leave a wet washcloth in a ball in the shower and certainly don't throw a wet washcloth all balled up into a hamper. I know it's easier to leave it flat in shower to dry until next day if you live alone and no one else will be showering. If more than one person is using the shower, wring out the washcloth and hang it flat and spread out over the rim of the hamper, don't throw it in the hamper wet and in a ball.

I use pants hangers with clips.

[quote] Splashing your face with water is really messy - and you still need to dry off.

I only use paper towels to dry my face. Use it and throw it away.

R128 - no - I see the wet washcloths in people's showers though - and I can smell them.

You're the dirty pig - washing your ass with re-used washcloths that make you smell like ass and mildew. Ewwww...

This “mafuckin” thing is getting really old.

You're a child and sad troll R133. IQ sub 90.

Some of you have obviously never set foot in a gym. You put the used towel in a bin, the bin is taken to their laundry and blasted with hot water and bleach. As the other poster said, the fresh gym towels always smell strongly of bleach.

I'm amazed that some of you prisspots don't get bathed by a full Hazmat team three times a day you're all so fucking neurotic.

Given the ages of many posters here, I'm not surprised they're still using washcloths. It's an old people thing.

This thread is ridiculous.

Elderly people only need to bathe two or three times per week.

Washcloths? Aint' nobody got time for dat!

For people who eat ass and fecal matter, this is a lot of mess about nothing, ecoli and parasites oh my.

Just how filthy are people??? I shower each morning and sometimes evening as well (after exercise, for example). Whenever I use the bathroom, I follow up with personal wipes. I use a scrubbie with body wash in the shower, then use bar soap on pits and groin/ass. Have a silicone brush for feet. Moisturize after.

It’s much easier to wash a top sheet than it is to wash a duvet cover or a comforter.

1/2 of them are red & white checker, the other 1/2 are just yellowy (originally white)

I grew up using them (and still often do), except they are called facecloths here, not washcloths.

I hate duvets. You've got the comforter all bunched up, unevenly, inside the duvet.

R123, washing a washcloth seems like a lot of work?! Are you for real? It’s a 6 inch square of terrycloth. You use it once, hang it to dry, then put it in the hamper to wash when you (or the maid) do laundry.

Get one with ties at the corners, R148.

The lazy slobs who don’t use a top sheet aren’t regularly washing a duvet cover either.

Can I just confirm that we are all washing our homes properly:

Soaping the crevice.

Going in to first knuckle.

Rinsing.

^ Homes = holes

Oh dear to me!

[quote]The lazy slobs who don’t use a top sheet

Most people I know use a fitted sheet under a duvet. A full set of sheets is old people shit.

I never use washcloths. I honestly thought it was a normal thing.

There are shower brushes but I think a washcloth needs to be changed daily after use. Being clean is good

R122 😆. I’ll never forget when and how it came up at my high school in Manhattan in the mid aughts. All us black and Caribbean folk were completely blown away. How the hell do you wash up without a wash cloth. lol funny enough I haven’t used one regularly in like 15 years now.

Tachina Arnold has great comedic timing.

Silicone scrubber. You'll never use a washcloth again. It feels fabulous.

Some of you who get jizzed on by strangers 4 times a week are complaining about the frequency of washcloth laundering.

[quote] Soaping the crevice.Going in to first knuckle.

Amateur.

Clean washcloth > no washcloth > re-used washcloth

I don’t use a washcloth because I do laundry at most once a week. I don’t want 14 wet wash clothes in my laundry basket or hanging all over my bathroom between laundry days.

When I was a kid my dad purchased cheap, thin cotton washcloths from liquidation sale somewhere. We probably had 300. Both bathrooms had a stack and you would take a fresh one each time you washed your face or showered. Then you threw the wet washcloth in a re-purposed plastic trashcan. So they didn’t mix with the rest of the dirty laundry and my mom did laundry frequently. It worked well because they were cheap and thin, so didn’t take up a lot of laundry space.

Looking down at the all of you

R164 I believe you Nationwide.

Can this Holier/Teacake thing be banned already? He's a nutcase drug addict who is on here 24/7 with his insanity.

I thought of using a silicone body scrubber. They don't harbor bacteria like washcloths, poufs and loofahs, but they don't look like they would lather well.

The Japanese are the cleanest people, what do they use?

[quote]He's a nutcase drug addict who is on here 24/7 with his insanity.

The only difference is we don't sign our posts.

There are too many people using authenticated names right now. I’m all for running them out of the place. And I liked Greg better than Holier.

R174, we are conveniently neglecting the people who use scrubbies.

Folks leave that shit in the shower for years.

It’s not something meant to be shared, but there’s always just ONE scrubby per family (Yes, I snoop around straight families’ medicine cabinets).

You’re dating yourself gramps with the “medicine cabinet” reference r177

[quote]we are conveniently neglecting the people who use scrubbies.

You mean the plastic poufs? I don't like 'em, I worry that they'll stay damp in the middle and mildew.

[quote]How the hell do you wash up without a wash cloth.

Do you use a wash cloth to clean your hands after wiping your ass?

Yeah - what the hell is scrubbie.

There must be millions of those poufs in the landfills.

Fair point, R180. I do pride myself on washing my hands after a shit or piss, but there is no cloth involved until I dry.

R151 you must be about 95 years old and still living like a 1950’s housewife.

A duvet cover is essentially a sheet, you wash it alongside the bottom sheet and pillow slips. Why would you want to use a top sheet as well as a duvet cover?

A full set of sheets is an old person thing, welcome to the new and real world you fossil. Maybe you would be better suited to a thread about sterilising your dentures glass.

Yeah, get some tattoos and STFU, skibidi toilet.

A full set of sheets is not an old person thing. Sheets are still usually sold in sets. Almost any photo in a magazine shows a top sheet. Nothing wrong with forgoing a top sheet and doing the extra work of washing a duvet cover more frequently but most grown ups with nice homes, young and old, use top sheets.

Pillow covers (underneath pillow cases) may be a little bit of an old person thing. And this 50-something is proud to be with the old people on that. Because having just one layer protecting your pillow from drool, hair and skin products, sloughing skin cells, etc. is disgusting.

It's easier to replace top sheets frequently than put that damn duvet back the cover. Also, many times all I want is a heavy linen sheet on me. Or sheet and season appropriate blanket.

R183 no one believes you wash your duvet cover regularly. Try it, or a top sheet, and see if the acne on your back and ass clears up.

I take my duvets to the cleaners because they are too big for my machine at home. However, washing duvet covers is no big deal.

And I use washcloths. Daily. And will continue to do so until they invent something better than a plastic scrubby or a silicone disc.

get a load of the lazy filthy trolls who cant believe others make an effort to keep clean and healthy beds and bathrooms

R183 you do know that a duvet cover easily fits into a washing machine don’t you? You just was it along with your sheet and pillow cases.

Whatever bedding is next to your skin gets washed regularly, pillow and mattress protectors also get washed, but not as regularly. Right now I am in my summer house and I don’t use a duvet or top sheet as it’s been over 40 degrees in this part of Europe for the last three months.

How fucking stupid and ignorant are you that you cannot accept that not everybody does exactly the same as you? Instead of just discussing it or thinking about it you immediately throw your toys out of your pram and start kicking and screaming.

Washcloths are a poor people/old people thing.

I want a courtyard with clothesline so I can dry my comforter with sunlight. It’s heavy as fuck so I’d also need the pole with the nail sticking out of one end. Plus, I don’t want weed neighbors stinking up my warsh.

Dogs playing I’ma Ghost are ok.

R190, I find it hard to believe that someone washes, dries, irons and reinserts a duvet into the freshly laundered duvet cover every week, rather than use a top sheet. I guess kudos to you for having such free time on your hands.

R190 I do not wash my duvet every week and never said I did, . I wash the duvet cover along with the bottom sheet and pillow slips. The duvet itself and pillows are covered. Surely nobody washes a large duvet every week and why would you iron one? They are usually filled with feather and down, they are not supposed to be ironed, you give then a shake to fluff them up.

If it’s a sunny day when I change the bedding I hang the duvet and pillows outside to air them.

There is always confusion on these bedding posts between US and UK. Many of you talk about buying full bedding sets, that does not happen in the UK. We buy a set with a duvet cover and two matching pillow cases., the sheets are sold individually and seperately. I have always bought my bedding in high end department stores, Selfridges, Peter Jones and Harrods, but mostly in Peter Jones, and this is how they are sold. . .

Sheesh. If your family owns the proper amount of homes with intergenerational wealth, the bed linens are what are in the linen closets, often decades old and in lovely condition. And you have staff who know how to press the various weaves.

Dolores and Vera had it all wrong, anyway. Sheets should be hung entirely over 1, or 2 parallel lines. So the fibers don't stretch unevenly. This also accommodates xl sheets on lower lines. The lines should be steel wire so they don't sag.

R192 we don’t just chirp sweet lullabies, y’know

I scrub mah cooter on a warsh board y’all!

I went to wash my prolapsed asshole and lost it!
