And we just don't need to do that anymore anymore.

And that's my other sort of pet peeve is that people spend all this money on appliances and they never read the manual.

But yeah, it just defaults on a warm wash.

So you just press play, right?

You just press start and then what happens happens.

So yeah, you switch it to a cold and unfortunately, you're right.

It's one more step because you have to switch it to cold.

Mine does too.

It's just...

It's not necessary.

And if you want your clothes to last longer, then you want to be washing them in cold.

Yeah, I have not been an advocate of dryer sheets or fabric softener.

They are known, both of them, to cause issues with each of those machines that they're placed in.

So the fabric softener can wreak havoc on your washing machine if you've ever... You know, most people haven't, but if you've ever taken a washing machine apart that the person has used...

fabric softener it's a mess the drum is completely coated in this sort of waxy chemical and it's not great on so many other levels because you know people want fluffy towels so they put fabric softener but the fabric softener stops your towels from being absorbent so people aren't getting the effect that they want

And then in terms of dryer sheets, they are terrible for the dryer because the chemical coats the sensor in your dryer.

And the sensor is what tells the dryer to turn off when the clothes are dry because the clothes pass over the sensor.

It detects the amount of moisture and then it'll turn off.

It'll say, hey, we're dry.

But when the sensors are completely coated with the chemical from the dryer sheets, it doesn't know.
