I know this isn't within the means of everyone, but have your clothes laundered. Finally convinced my wife to let us do this and it's fantastic! About $45 a week for the two of us. We're mostly empty nesters.

We really do live in entirely separate worlds. Not disrespecting you in the slightest, but the idea of spending the better part of an entire day worth of wages just to pay someone else to do an hour of work is alien to me

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah not for everyone for sure. Based on wage per hour which isn't really real, it costs us more to do the laundry than to pay to get it done. Same reason we have someone clean our house every few weeks and care for our lawn.

I have contamination OCD so there's no way I'd have others do my laundry 😂

Oh yeah no doubt, you'd have to just burn everything they touched and buy all new!

I wish you a germ free existence my friend!
