Your Laundry Chart, Jack

Turns your laundry chart into one phone-friendly sheet, dig: which programme, temperature and spin for each pile, what can boogie together in one drum, and where that iron's thermostat oughta land. Slap this page on your phone's home screen — Safari's Share menu or Chrome's menu both got themselves an "Add to Home Screen" option — and it pops open like a real app, no address bar jibber-jabber, right there by the machine, solid.

Press it while it's still a lil' damp, steam crankin'. Cotton can take all the heat your iron's got, solid.

DRYIN'

Tumble it medium, Jack — all that tumblin' is what fluffs the pile back up outta sight.

IRON

Pressin' it flattens the pile dead, and that towel quits dryin' you, sheeeit.

DA WORD

Never no fabric softener, Jack — it coats them loops in silicone and the towel quits soakin' up, dead. White vinegar in the softener drawer once a month softens it up instead, solid.

Liquid detergent, half dose, Jack. Whatever don't rinse clean out stays stuck in them split fibers and it quits pickin' up jack squat.

WASH TOGETHER WIT'

nothin' else — wash it alone, chump

DRYIN'

Air it out, or tumble it low. High heat welds them split ends shut and that towel never soaks up again, dead.

IRON

Don't iron dis, chump

Polyester and polyamide start meltin' down 'round 110 °C, way before that iron's doin' you any good, sheeeit.

DA WORD

Never no fabric softener, Jack — fills them split fibers with silicone and that towel's finished, done, kaput. Wash it with microfiber only — them same split ends that make it soak up grab onto cotton lint and never let go, dig?

DRYIN'

Hang it inside out, outta that direct sun. Skip the dryer altogether, Jack — heat fades black fastest of all, sheeeit.

IRON

deep inside the steam zone

Inside out, medium heat, Jack. Steam it, don't lean on it hard — that shine on dark cotton don't never come out, solid.

DA WORD

Flip everything inside out, dig? That extra rinse matters big time here — leftover suds dry up as grey streaks on black, no jive.

Hang 'em by the waistband and let 'em air out. A hot dryer shrinks 'em down and wrecks that stretchy elastane dead, sheeeit.

DRYIN'

Hang it inside out indoors, clear of sun and radiators. Never, ever tumble it, Jack.

IRON

Don't iron dis, chump

Pressin' it sets creases in all the wrong places and flattens them fades you worked months to earn, sheeeit — don't do it.

DA WORD

Unwashed denim's meant to go months 'fore its first wash, dig? Gentler than the machine: 45 minutes cold soakin' in the bath, inside out, no swishin', no wringin' — then roll it up in a towel to press that water out, solid.

each other, dig it

DRYIN'

Merino Wool, Soft Jive: Never tumble it, Jack, no way. Dry it flat on a towel, clear of radiators and sun — hang it up and it stretches out and never comes back, sheeeit.

Cashmere Blend, Fancy Jive: Never tumble it, no way, Jack. Squeeze that water out, never wring it, then dry it flat on a towel clear of any heat.

IRON

•• — wool 'n' silk, cookin' at 150 °C

deep inside the steam zone

Merino Wool, Soft Jive: Only if you gotta, Jack: pressing cloth, no weight on it. Hang it in a steamy bathroom and them creases drop out without you touchin' it, solid.

Cashmere Blend, Fancy Jive: Low heat through a pressing cloth, solid. Better yet, steam it on a hanger and let them creases drop out on their own, outta sight.

DA WORD

Merino Wool, Soft Jive: Flip it inside out, wash it with wool only, nothin' with zips. Merino barely needs washin' at all, Jack — air it out overnight and wear it again, outta sight.

Cashmere Blend, Fancy Jive: Inside out, Jack, and only ever wash it with other wool. Cashmere pills up where it rubs — that's just the fiber actin' natural, not a fault, dig — a cashmere comb takes it right off. Check the blend first: a lil' nylon toughens it up, silk makes it more delicate, solid.

WASH TOGETHER WIT'

DRYIN'

Air it on a hanger — dry inside the hour, Jack. Tumble heat kills that stretch dead.

IRON

Don't iron dis, chump

Elastane starts breakin' down 'round 110 °C, and that technical finish goes right along with it, sheeeit — skip the iron.

DA WORD

Inside out, dig? Never no softener — it films right over them fibers that do all the wickin' and stretchin'. A cup o' white vinegar in the rinse resets a load that's already gone funky. Covers tops, shorts, and base layers, Jack — one fabric family, one wash. Mixed colors are cool in one run: at 30 °C them polyester dyes barely budge. 'Cept a brand-new black or hot red piece, which can bleed color for a wash or two — give that one its own solo run first, solid.

DRYIN'

Air dry only, Jack, someplace with air movin': outside, by a window, or in front of a fan. Never the dryer and never no radiator — heat warps the sole and shrinks that wool upper dead, sheeeit.

IRON

Don't iron dis, chump

DA WORD

Pull them insoles and laces out first and wash those by hand, dig? The shoes go in a mesh delicates bag or a pillowcase, solo — a loose trainer batters that drum and everything else in it, solid.

deep inside the steam zone

Press it while it's still damp, hot as your iron goes, Jack. Steam it first to drop the worst creases 'fore that iron even touches it, solid.

DA WORD

New linen sheds a lil' dye and lint them first few washes, dig — run it solo till the water rinses clear, then it's cool with any other 40 °C load, outta sight.

Dem durations is just da machine's own guesses, and they shift wit' da load, dig it.
