Hi Tim, this is a very helpful video to me! Thx!
I download ur sheet, and add more informations.
I print it out and pasted on my washing machine to help me do laundry. Haha, hope this could help more people!
You nailed it with the additions on the sheet man! Thank you for providing it 🙌
@@TimDessaint HAHA no problem man!
Thanks you both!!! ❤️✨
@@TimDessaint hey Tim, what washing machine and what model are you using?
@@alexlin9197 this is so useful, I just downloaded it, amazing!
I feel ashamed that I don’t know how to do basic chores like this as a young adult. I was sheltered and my mom never let me do chores. I’m glad there are videos like this
Same here... you're not alone
Don't feel ashamed. Some people know how to do this at a young age and some people don't. Just depends on how you were raised. I've never been taught any of this stuff which is why I'm teaching myself it now.
Same here, my mom didn't let me do chores. Now that I moved in with my boyfriend I've had some trouble washing the clothes 😅
Babies do not feel ashamed when they learn how to walk. Neither should you.
UA-cam thought me everything, from cleaning to cooking. I grow up in a bad household so don't feel bad. We are Very blessed for having the chance to learn as adults ❤️

Hey. I hope you have a nice week
I'm not saying I don't know how to do my laundry........... But... I'm gonna save this video for later
I got you 👌😊
Aww man I never realised I could enjoy someone talk about washing clothes this much😂
This was definitely worth the wait!
Haha thank you Andrew! That means a lot 🙏

Big brain moment fs
Mate, you've encapsulated 20 years of questions + endless phone-calls with my mom when I was in my twenties, in 18 mins. Painstaking but one of the most useful videos ever. if only i had smth like this when I first moved out of my parents. ha.
Cheers!
If you only thought of googling it
@@IGarrettI u do know there was a time before google existed right….
@@guscastro7439 You do know there were and are similar sites, with washing information on the internet, right? The guy could've googled and found one. Even in 2002.
@@JayyyClouddo you remember how scarce and slow internet connections were back in 2002? Calling your mom might have been a simpler solution back then
wellll 20 years ago im not sure wheather this info was on google yet@@IGarrettI
I fucking love how the environment is such a big concern for you. Honestly so important and I have so much respect and appreciation for influencers who treat it with the proper concern. so thanks man
As someone going to university soon... really needed this. Can’t wait to finish this video, Tim!
Glad I could help! Hope you enjoyed it 😊
@@TimDessaint I did!
You look like the type of guy people enjoy hugging.
And I love hugs! 😊
@@TimDessaint Then it's only fitting :>
A good joke 🤣
This is by far my longest, most in-depth video so far! Hope you enjoy it 😊Let me know if you like these longer videos.
Also just in case you didn't stay until the very end and missed this, I made a laundry cheat sheet for you guys, downloadable PDF in the description.
Thanksomuchman content like this make me so fucking horny
@@rbcompound3774 wtf
Hey so unrelated to this video but I've really wanted to get some simple sweaters/long sleeve pretty much exactly like the kind of one you're wearing in this video. If it was thrifted that's okay but if you have an idea of what to search for these I would really appreciate it.
You must have messed up a lot of clothes in your days cuz this info was spot on. All the details were on point. I prefer to use a hand held steamer instead of iron but that’s me. Good to see you back.
I learned quickly haha! Glad you enjoyed the video Rob 🙂 It's good to be back!
Towels and bed sheets should be washed on 60degrees. This also prevents a smelly / molding washer
Very true! I kept it strictly clothing-related in the video but towels and bed sheets can definitely go through a hotter wash usually 🙂
What’s 60 degrees?!
@@vickyandersen8660 probably celsius not sure tho
Can we all appreciate that Tim´ s editing game popped of in this video. Great work, really informative!
Aw thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I’m not usually this meticulous with my washing (just dark colors versus light colors), but I’m trying to take better care of my clothes now. Thanks for this video!
You weren’t kidding about posting a much needed video. I’m literally 15 seconds in and you posed questions that puzzle a lot of people. Thanks man, I’m about to watch the rest of the video.
Hope you enjoyed the full video Emir! 😊
I love doing the laundry so much (it's the only house chore i like actually), this was extremely satisfying to watch..like..feeling understood haha
Haha I feel you!
Finally someone as neurotic about properly washing my clothes as me! I have to do all the laundry because otherwise my wife will just mix everything without regard for material or color, and refuses to turn them inside out.
You get that laundry taken care of my man! 👌😉
same lol
Tell her she's a dumbass and teach her
Are you still married?
@@OrelBeats haha, yes and very happy! Despite my spouse showing no improvement in the last 2 years :P
This surely will be added to my Adulting101 list xD
Haha things you gotta learn for sure!
Would you mind sharing what else you have in the list?)
I’ve never seen a machine that is this specific. This is honestly fascinating.
Wool shrinks/felts with heat and friction. The spin on a machine is perfect to getting all the water out since wool holds 80% of its weight in water. An easy way to wash wool is to place in a large bowl of lukewarm water, add about a nickel size amount of a conditioning shampoo (wool is hair) and squeeze gently, then let soak for about 10 mins - more if stinky, squeeze out or place on a spin only load in wash, rinse in fresh water until water is clear and squeeze again. Roll in a towel as another option to remove excess water, lay flat and reshape on towel or rack to dry. For ironing wool use a damp, same color tee/towel/pillowcase, make sure it is re-dampened and not dried out. This is a type of steaming that won't leave the wool shiny, especially at the seams and pockets. Hope this helps and thanks for letting me add my 2 cents :)
I grew up learning everyday things from YT but this video in particular is one of the best and most valued to me. Took a hectic topic and broke it down masterfully. I kept this video saved long ago and soon I am about to do my first laundry in-house. Thank you!
I'm guaranteed there will/is a lot of people who have a core memory of this video, thank you very much Tim
CORE MEMORY COMMENT ON A LAUNDRY VIDEO
There aren't enough videos about maintaing your clothes so I really appreciate you made this video! It also makes me more confident buying more expensive clothes when I know how to maintain it :)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Taking care of your clothes properly is paramount to building a good wardrobe 🙂
The most comprehensive laundry video on UA-cam! Many items I partially dry in a machine dryer and then finish drying on a rack. The fastest way to damage or destryo clothing is to 'bake it' in a dryer.
That's the way to go! Thank you my friend.
حكم
This video really helped, I just started on doing my whole family’s laundry at home, and this video just adds on to our improvements on our clothes
We all know why we're here, so I'm not about to explain myself. I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for putting this video up. Can't thank you enough.
One thing I would recommend is to invest in a decent garment steamer. Great for removing wrinkles on all types of fabrics whether it be cotton, synthetic, or silk. I also use it to give my clothing a quick refresh between washes.
Yess great tip! I need to get myself one of those.
i always have a spray bottle with clear water at hand whilst ironing, sometimes tap water can have a lot of chalc in it and can ruin your iron, as well as your washing machine 😶@@TimDessaint
Great stuff! Also; for delicates I like to use washing bags. Especially when there are like large zippers (common now) or other accessories. It prevents damage from washing itself. Banging on the inside of the machine. Other items and the spin cycle. 👌
As a cleaning freak, i'm so grateful for this kind of video, it's sooo satisfying for me 🖤✨🎀
Tim, you get us! All these bafoons saying they know how to do laundry and shaming others when they don’t know what they don’t know (sorting by colors, temp, etc) thanks bud
This is the first video from your channel that I watched and just want to say THANK YOU. I just started living by myself and this in depth video is just what I needed! 2 years ago and still relevant!
I'm gonna share some things my mom has taught me...
Liquid soap can be expensive so typically I use mexican powder soap like Foca, Ariel, and Roma. They sell in big 11 pound sacks and not a lot is needed for laundry and my clothes still smell good :) not sure if it sells everywhere, but I'm guessing they should be available in mexican stores?
Oh and the good ol' bar of Zote, and it's safe for delicate skin too!
My mom showed me that with clothes that are covered in grime or grease it's best to use Dawn platinum dish soap (ofc assuming the clothes aren't delicate) and put the machine on heavy duty and warm/hot water and it cleans it all out.
Not sure if anyone needs this advice but I'm just sharing my knowledge 😊
how much powder do you typically use?
Solid video man! Going in depth whilst still keeping it simple and not overly detailed. Also, the cheat sheet saves lives!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
are u the best youtuber or what, u made the best explanation video on laundry so far and not only that u left a pdf sheet summarizing what u have said in the video thats awesome, thank you so much.
This was so incredibly handy!! Thank you!! I don’t have a mom to help me out with such things and my dad barely knows anything about laundry so you’re a real lifesaver! Thank you!!!
Tim, the fashion god is back! Good to see you again! Hope you had a great time during the not so long break!
Thank you my friend! It's good to be back 🙂
I started doing my own laundry when I was 8 and I just honestly “figured it out” on my own. I just recently realized how some of my clothes get damaged really quickly🙂 here to figure out what I’ve been doing wrong 😂
There is no more complete and enjoyable video on this topic, thank you very much
Yoooo, this helped a lot, I'm 20yrs, Uni student and have been doing laundry all wrong, and I always wondered why I didn't separate my laundry. Huge Thanks Tim ❤
Great job Tim, I hope you're feeling better! We all naturally go through peaks and valleys and I'm sure I'm not the only one that appreciates your effort in making these videos. Take care bro!
Thank you for your kind words Tommy! Much appreciated 🙏
You say Eye-Rin , I say Eye-Urn
This was honestly super useful. As a guy who's just about to leave for university, and who hasn't had to do a lot of chores, I can't thank you enough for all these tips.
this is genuinely the best video regarding washing your clothes and I 've watched a lot, thank you man this was helpful
Holy crap what a comeback video
Glad you're back man! Also, I showed my older brother Tim your Uniqlo video since it's his favorite brand xD
Thanks my man! Good to be back 🙂
Tim Dessaint is back on the tube baby 🎉
Doing my laundry for the first time and I'm really thankful that my man Tim has a video for this. You definitely make my life better with your content!
This guy never made laundry look so motivating. Thank you, for making such a great video.😊
This video was amazing Tim! I like how you explained everything and showed us examples as well. I really enjoy your videos since they are brief and consise, but some topics like this one require longer videos IMO. Keep em coming!
Thanks a lot Dominik! I appreciate the feedback and glad you enjoyed the video 😊
thanks to youtube algorithm.... this thang appeared in my recommendation.... good lesson!
Glad you found it helpful! 😊
Great sharing! Very informative and helpful!
1.always do inside for washing
2. Dry sweater in lying in down position but hanging
3. Fold sweater instead of hanging them
..
By far the most comprehensive video I have seen on Laundry care. Wish I had seen this earlier as I have spent significant time in getting 70% of the video right by going many articles
Yo, this is literaly just what i needed man, This is really a great timing. Thanks!
My pleasure 😊
@@TimDessaint keep up the quality content man. Got you on my notifications 😁
Nicely done Tim! I'm fanatical about my laundry! My wife is always like, "I can't believe you're doing a separate load for just that one item..."
Also, the laundry bags, like you showed, are a lifesaver! I use them for lots of things, especially shirts that have mother of pearl buttons, as it keeps them from getting chipped.
Thank you Ben! Those laundry nets are super practical for sure 👌
Let's be honest, most of us needed this video
absolute hero you are Tim.. just what I needed before going to university! Keep up the great work
Mr. Dessaint! We missed you! Hope you're doing good😌 (and obviously as always, great video😉)
Good to be back! 😊
Such a great video Tim! And pretty helpful too, I'm used to hand-wash my clothes, and now that I'm going to the uni and I was struggling with how to wear washing machines properly.
Thank you Priscila! I'm glad you found it helpful 😊
You made it so easy to understand omg u saved my life and my clothes’ lives thank you!
Dear Tim, thanks for this video. You have no idea how much fashion influence you have. How much my dress sense had improved and compliments I received since taking cues from your videos. This is a much needed video. Welcome back.
Thank you for your kind words Paul! I'm so happy to hear that you've been seeing improvement in your style 😊 It's good to be back!
I actually use a protective cloth when ironing my cotton shirts - and I iron them on the inside.
Do not use fabric softener on towels! They absorb moisture much less effectively if you wash them with it.
Also, if a piece of clothing stinks a lot (smoke, starting mold, etc), put white vinegar (or normal 8% vinegar will also do) in the fabric softener bin. This is a very effective way to remove smell. If something smells a lot, put in more vinegar than you would fabric softener and use the "extra water" setting to make sure your clothes don't smell of vinegar afterwards)
finally someone made on how to laundry the clothes properly! really needed this one because theres no other video that has a good info on yt as well as some other fashion vloggers
I got you! 😊
I've been air-drying (after spin drying) my clothes for years, my family always attacks me for doing this calling me poor, but I still have cardigans, t-shirts, sweaters and scarves from 12 years ago in excellent condition. However, I never considered the weight induced stretching before! I will definitely make sure to lay out heavier clothes like sweaters on a flatter surface. I also use a more eco-friendly detergent with oxy clean booster, i add vinegar to detergent if needed (never mix vinegar and oxyclean!) I recently started to wash my precious clothes inside out and fold my knits/sweaters, it has been a game-changer! I bought a fuzzy remover recently as well, I only used it on my sofa but I can't wait to use it on sweater fuzzies! this was very informative!
Bro I swear that you're the only guy that can rock a turtle neck
I want to add on some info between detergent types:
*Powder* - better for hard water because softening additives are more stable in powder form. Use warm or hot water washes with powder detergent if you have very hard water. Great at removing carbon based stains.
*Liquid* - required for "speed" cycles, better at removing greasy stains. Softening additives are often omitted from liquid detergents because these loose efficacy quickly in liquid form. Usable at all water temps and easily usable to pretreat laundry.
*Tablets* - just don't...horrible in front loaders, cannot control dosing and 9/10 times you'll overdose your load. Take forever to dissolve so you end up with continued dosing during rinses. Most expensive and wasteful option.
*Fabric Softener* - Fabric softener was created back in the day specifically for clothing made from synthetic fibers. It will build up on your clothing, is considered the most toxic laundering product since it isn't washed from clothing and has direct contact with your skin. As long as you're properly laundering your clothing it isn't needed. Save yourself, your clothing and the environment by skipping this all together.
Thanks you for making this comment! 😊 I had no idea about any of this info.
Super helpful for a man starting his career alone. Thanks Tim! 😃
Omg yess!! The only upside to having a rare heart condition was losing 100 lbs with in a year and some change but I now have to replace my entire wardrobe with appropriate fitting clothes. But this is also the first time I’m shopping and finally have endless options and not feel insecure. Now that I’m buying a lot of better quality and trendy clothes I want to properly wash them in order preserve/ maintain the quality with the best of care. Thanks for this!!
What a heart condition
Not all heroes wear capes!
We really do need a Tim Dessaint on our lives.
I got you! 🙂
This video is a godsend. Thank you for so much great advice! Very concise and easy to follow
The workout clothes tip is a mind opener, thanks Tim!
Never change your aesthetics
Change, no. Improve, always 🙂
Tim Dessaint yes!
when the clothes are new I wash them even by hand, after 2 washes I put everything in, even socks in the washing machine smh jaja
After watching this video (months ago) I bought a metal framed drying rack from Amazon. It folds up flat when not in use (which itʻs mostly always in use). I never really knew about these before watching your video. My mom always dried clothes on an outside line, and on a wooden rack over the bathtub in the winter, for a few big heavy items that she couldnʻt dry outside. I love using my new metal drying rack! Iʻve put it in the garage where itʻs handy and drips donʻt matter. I mostly bought it so I could dry several hand-washed cashmere sweaters at the same time over winter, but I use it all the time for everything else too. Thank you for the tip! I think my electric bill has gone down since buying this.
It's nice to see you doing well.
Your content is so organized and well detailed.
Thank you Daryll! Good to be back 🙂
I checked the labels in my clothes after watching this now that I know what it means 😂😅
Hey Tim, thanks for the video but can i ask a question, so when I separated the clothes into different piles, do I run the washer 6-7 times in a row? And what if i dont have many clothes and when I separate it they become small piles?
Dude, you make such great content. Your videos are interesting and worth watching. They’re never boring and you present so much information in a cool and chill way. Your also a pretty cool guy.
Thank you Kendou! I'm glad you enjoy the content 😊
By far the most informative video I’ve seen on this topic. Thanks for the help 👍
Oh he's cute!
Do not use fabric softener on towels. It makes them less absorbant. That's why rough hotel towels, washed at high temp and never with softener, are so absorbant
Finally, Thank you Tim. For long time I been looking for this. 🙌🏽
Thank you a lot for making this video Tim. Love all your content and style, keep going!!
Honestly, for a year now, I handwash everything because I'm that paranoid haha
Better safe than sorry 😅
Really. You should wear a Denim Overall when shooting this. Hahaha
Thank you so much, I can't believe I've took notes of your explanation and not of my class lessons..... This helped me so much since my mother won't teach me how to do the laundry. Again, thank you so much
Thank youuuuu great information for someone who just started living alone
Girl: men didn't know anything about laundry!
Tim: show video about laundry
This is doable if you only have such tiny amounts of wash.
He'll be doing it way different when he has kids.
Took the laundry task on myself and, brother, thank you.
You made an amazing video, good job!
Super simple layout of the information that was really easy to understand. Thank you 🙏🏼
bro thanks for sharing your info and the cheat sheet! This video needs to be top-ranked on youtube!
Dropping some knowleedge 😍💯 my sweaters are grateful for your video Tim
big brain, god tier tips, no need to ask anybody, love youtube and this content
There is always something new to be learned about doing laundry. Thank you very much for this info!
Loved the tutorial bro! It is simple & very informative - exactly what I was looking for. Thanks heaps!
Lots of great info here. Especially the point about fabric softener on synthetics. Thank you.
This man is the hero we never knew we needed
Thank you for the laundry cheat sheet!! It is so helpful to summarize this video which I learned a lot from. Fantastic Video!! Thank you again.
