Dishes are easy if you have a machine. I want to know HN's prostrats on laundry. Especially sweaty gym laundry for the runners.

  Washing machines are relatively cheap when considered over the time used - I’m seriously considering getting an additional pair for convenience. Some of the newer ones have a tiny wash machine stuck to the larger one but I’m not quite convinced yet.

    Oh I use a washing machine for laundry. But my clothes are forever in baskets because of all the folding and putting away. Takes me an hour. Also my sweaty gym clothes just hang in/stink up the bathroom lately. Used to let them dry then throw in with otther dirty laundry, but now half my clothes have an irreversible light-but-nasty odor. Only solution seems to be washing my gym clothes right after I've used them, which is a non-starter whether it's manually or machine.

      A rinse may be good enough - but if your gym clothes are used at a gym that’s gonna be a problem either way (unless you find a gym with washing machines) A slightly weird substitute might be showering in the gym clothes and then putting them in a non airtight bag for the ride home

        I workout at home lately and tried the immediately-after rinse once. Just made 'em stink worse. Apparently I just straight-up sweat ammonia.
