H2O or water?

I've been doing my own laundry since I was in high school. I don't iron, but that's another story. Laundry really isn't difficult.

Is there a thread where Alanland references aren't a thing?

Alanland is and isn't a fictional country created by a troll that subsequently became a running gag here, much like I-366 with an 85 mph speed limit. I somehow identified Alanland with the Northern coast of California, especially around Eureka (I believe the troll was from around there). My plans will ultimately incorporate an interstate towards the area, as they have already included I-366 (albeit with a different number) with an 85 mph speed limit and the Hypotenuse .

Most serious threads.

They don't do the laundry for you at the laundromat.  They just have the machines; you still need to operate them yourself.

Well, I don't need to worry about it because I will google it.

Really?  It's not that difficult.

1. Put load of laundry in washer, separated by whites versus colors, and by delicates versus normal clothing, sheets, towels.
2. Add the appropriate amount of detergent.  Color-safe bleach for colors, chlorine bleach for whites only (unless you like splotchy clothing).
3. Add fabric softener when required (the washer will tell you when).
4. When done, transfer to the dryer.
5. Add a dryer sheet.
6. If the article in question says "do not machine dry", then do not put it in the dryer.
7. When done, fold laundry.

Google not required.

That's more work than most laundry really takes:

Dyes in dark clothes used to be not completely colorfast, which is why it was necessary to separate colors.  Almost all machine-washable clothes today are colorfast and can be washed with whites.  Skip the bleach, either chlorine or color-safe, unless you have something that get amazingly dirty.

You can also skip fabric softener and dryer sheets.

However, I'd emphasize not overdrying the clothes, take them out when they're dry but don't leave them in for longer than they have to.  And hang or fold promptly to keep them from wrinkling.

Some dressy clothes will require dry cleaning or hand washing but you can keep them out of your daily wardrobe until you have to have them.

Unless you don't care about the color.
