At some point (in a galaxy, long long time ago) I learned to turn jeans, shorts and hoodies inside out when putting them into washing machine. For some reason, I don’t do the same with smaller, simple things like T-shirts and underwear.

I forgot what was the reasoning behind it, but when I think about it, can’t seem to come to a conclusion which way is better.

Is one way better than another and why?

    Recent studies by consumer organisations indicate that washing at “cold” is just as effective as higher temperatures, for everyday clothing. But it saves a ton of energy and is a lot cheaper.
