Yeah, that's something a lot of people with silk screening on their shirts do not do and they DO last considerably longer washed and dried inside out. Another washing tip is do up your zippers on pants etc. before washing or drying as it will help minimize wear and tearing on other clothes they rub on. Don't use too much soap is another one, cause more soap is actually less clean. Always use the min. recommended amount no matter the size of load, because larger load=more soap is just a scam to sell you more soap. Lol. With how concentrated these new detergents are, nobody but the very dirtiest/greasiest clothes needs any more than the minimum on any size load. And it's easier on your pipes and washer.

WHEN I WAS A BOY we had a washing machine that was a large oak barrel. There was a long wooden handle on the top attached to gears. When you pulled the handle in and out the gears drove four pegs inside the barrel which agitated the washing inside. One worked it for about 20 minutes then fed the clothes though a hand cranked wringer. It was top loading.

In Australia and even the UK sometimes we peg our clothes outside to dry as driers waste electric.

I’m in the U.K. and the only top loading thing I ever saw was at a poor persons house and it was called a twin tub. They didn’t have to be plumbed in unlike an automatic washing machine. People would fill from the sink tap then at the end of the wash, it would drain from a pipe straight down the plug hole in the sink. One thing about twin tubs is good. When the wash load has finished. You move the clothing into the other drum where a very fast thoroughly efficient drum spins most of the water off. As soon as you put clothes into the spin dryer, you can put another load into the washing side which can be very helpful. The spin dryer is efficient BUT it’s not an actual dryer in the sense that a tumble dryer makes clothes ready to wear; spin dryers do not. Clothes still need airing afterwards.

It was for an advert whereby you can add clothes to the washing once the cycle has started. If you notice there is a small plastic flap in the front door which can be opened. How many times have we all started a wash to find that lonely sock on the floor behind us?

This may seem mundane, but it is an important issue. My first time in China, '96, I was shocked that I couldn't find laundromats in Beijing. I mentioned this to the school director and he opened up a room for students to use washing machines they purchased privately, but the result was a room filled with washing machines which had to be re-arranged every time someone wanted to use one because of limited electrical sockets. There was also one broken washer donated by the school. I returned ten years later and found that there were a few laundromats that would take in laundry and were reasonably priced. All this flew in the face of my perceptions of how China would/should be because of the well-known presence (at least in films and TV) of Chinese laundries in the US. Anyway, I think more laundromats would be a very welcome improvement in the life of Chinese, at least of foreigners living there. BTW, top loading washing machines are popular also in the US.

Here in Mexico we have both top loading and front loading washing machines/tumble dryers At home I actually have a top loading washer and front loading dryer.

My biggest issue with washing clothes in China was the humidity. Ok, I accept the idea of hanging clothes outside to dry. The problem with that, especially in Jiangxi province and similar areas, is that it is so humid and there is so much moisture in the air or rain that it can take up to a week to dry a single load of laundry.

Very interesting facts ! Top loaders are good. If you forget one item you can open lid and throw it in. Most UK machines are front loaders.

This was actually super informative! I wouldn't mind seeing a video on things like doing dishes. I assume they wash them in the sink, and use the UV sterilizer afterwards? What precautions are taken knowing the quality of the tap water when washing things like the laundry or the dishes?

Life (time-wise) is taken up by mundane tasks; "living" is figuring out how to do the mundane tasks quickly and efficiently or hiring it out. I'm old enough to remember when one day of a mother's week (mom's were called housewives and taking care of the family was considered a full time job). One day each week was called "wash day". No spin cycle on washing machine and every item had to be hand fed through a press that was hand cranked. All cloths were hung up and dried on cloths lines. In winter they would frequently be brought in frozen stiff as cardboard. Secret to washing socks and underwear together is using the hottest water setting.

Interesting Video! Over 20 years ago, when I was for an internship in Oregon, I used an american style top loader washing machine, which seems to be quite similar to the one you and Sasha use(d) in China. Nowadays, working partially in R&D in commercial laundry technology, I know, that they are less efficient in cleaning performance, but they save time. Furthermore front loader machines spin with higher g-factor, so the textiles have less moisture and drying (in a tumble dryer) needs less energy. Energy is expensive, so till the 1980s tumble dryers were also rare in Europe, where I live. Clothes were also (and still today in summer) are put on a line for drying.

:) you need to add softener during the last rinse. Makes a difference, but yes, not having your cloths too cooked in the sun helps a lot with ironing.

Actually, this is kind of an interesting subject. I've lived all my life in the US. Some assorted notes- 1. I've almost always used top loaders. Front loaders are sometimes an option in public facilities for large loads, but I think I've actually used one maybe once, ever. 2. I actually think, if I ever buy my own washer, it will be a front-loader. There's not the unbalance problem you get with top-loaders. As for having to bend down to use one, just elevate it off the floor. And space use should not be a problem with the right kind of room design. 3. Not washing socks and underwear together actually sounds quite sensible, and I may start separating them, now that I think of it. The problem is that for a single person, you kind of need both, and more, for a full load. The solution might simply be to have a larger stock of both, do them both somewhat less frequently (maybe socks one week and underwear the next), and set the washer for somewhat smaller loads. 4. I think in South America it's common to dry clothes on the rear balcony of an apartment. That seems sensible for there. It might look a little unsightly, but it's not set far out from the building, so is not that conspicuous. The temperatures don't vary that much with the seasons, so you can handle things the same way all year. And if your balcony faces east, you can wash and set the clothes out in the morning when it's cool, and on sunny days the Sun will help to dry them.

You may be wrong about top loaders (See other comments) but I really like how you explain the cultural component of how they approach laundry. I've learned something!

I've got a top-loader in the States. It's the only kind we've ever used in my family.

Top loaders are more common in Australia, as is drying clothes in the fresh air and sun. No pollution to worry about, but in inner city apartments there might not be anywhere to dry them, so city dwellers seem to have be likely to have a dryer. I don't see how a front loader takes any more space than a top loader, especially if you factor in a dryer on top of (or under) it. I prefer a top loader though. Having had front loaders refuse to open the door! :o

awesome video keep it up!

Hi Winston, coming from NZ we always use top loaders & almost never use clothes drier as sunlight is the best for getting clothes dry. Great video's!! Thanks for sharing. Yes I have done the washing underwear in the shower while in China.

Some of the lack of research in recent videos has been bothering me. Just to name one in this video, both front-loading and top-loading washing machines are very common in the west, not just front-loading. In fact, I've never used a front-loading washer and I've lived in Canada for 22 years. Anyway, I love your content and will continue to watch either way!

Yeah same here in the US but front loaders are increasingly becoming the preferred machine since they hold more and it can do bulky items like comforters.

Also use less water. But we have sort of a hybrid machine. Its top loading but acts more like a front loader in the amount of water it uses and the need for HE detergent.

Dimitriy Mirovsky you are wrong about everything. He never lived in the US. Nowhere near 99% of households use front-loading washing machines. Plenty of American movies show top-loading washing machines, especially in the '90s, almost all were front-loaders back then.

The first top loader washer my mom had was a Maytag and it sat outside by the back door and ran by a one cylinder kerosene motor. We got our first electric dryer when I was in junior high. Dad put it in the bed room I shared with my brother.

Grew up with top loaders in South Africa. Washer and spin drier combo. Today single drum top loaders and front-loaders are about 50-50 available.

Front load washers are more energy and water efficient than top loaded machines.

High efficiency top loading washers don't have agitators. That's literally how you tell if it's high efficiency or not nowadays.

My parents in law in Nanchang have both a front- and toploader. The toploader is only used for a small amount of clothes, the other one they use when there is more stuff to wash.

We have a toploader washing machine, an Australian made Hoover Twin tub 30 years old and still going strong. We also dry our clothing on the clothes line. Works well.

I'm pretty sure the whole "no drying machine" thing is like that in almost all of Asia. I've actually come to prefer it that way. Dryers shrink and damage your clothing. When I dry my clothes by air, they tend to last way longer

we hang our clothes in balconies with roofs and sometimes walls and windows(some balconies are open and some are completely closed ), pollution is not worse in our balconies than in our rooms. Besides, when you're breathing dirty air 24/7, you don't really care if your clothes are little dusty.

Top loaders here in Australia too , but we use both . If you live in an apartment without much floor space a front loader is sometimes mounted on the wall . Top loader pretty standard for normal house . 😉

in places with high humidity drying clothes can be very hard especially during the wet season and I used to have this big blue balloon with a fan underneath to dry.

I’m 57 years along and have never in my entire life ever had problem come about by washing socks and underwear together. I’ve never heard of anyone who ever had .. ever .. ever .. ever. It doesn’t happen. Insane

If you can, then avoid the usage of a tumble dryer. The usual ones are energy eating monsters. The usual ones are those with exhaust pipe. There are expensive energy saving tumble dryers, the best are condensation type with integrated heat pump. They have a water tank and they internally reuse the heat from the warm air. There is no exhaust pipe. All European companies have them, such as Bosch, Miele or Philipps. From Asia only Panasonic and Samsung have this type, AFAIK. For towels that you wish to have softer, simply hang them in an outside area with wind movement. If there is no wind they will become stiff.

I taught English in South Korea for 2 years and dryers didn't exist there either. I tended to throw in a softener sheet in the wash to prevent my clothes from stiffening (because the water there is really hard with mineral content), and then air dried in my room (or, in the case of my second year when my apartment was basically 10ft x 10ft, in the corridor I shared with my co-teachers). Winter was quite nice because you could dry your clothes on the (clean) floor since floor heating is awesome and ubiquitous there.

That was very interesting. I always learn something useful from you SerpentZa. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith Noneya

I remember when I was little we had a top loader washer here in Ireland , did it come from China?

It only takes 30-60 minutes to wash a full load?! Dang! Washing my clothes with a full load takes like 2-3 hours because of the pre-wash, wash and spin cycles. Add another 2 hours for the tumble drying. I add fabric conditioner, Lenor scent boosters, colour catcher sheets; followed by a tumble dryer softener sheet during drying! This doesn't include the 5 minutes I have to spend ironing each item!

Most of the people I know also use top loader washers and front load dryers here in the US. Front loader washers are super expensive and are only used if you are going to stack them to save space.

In the Uk and Australia we always dry clothes outside using a washing line. Tumble driers use a lot of electricity plus front loading washing machines are much more water and energy efficient than top loaders.

Should've covered types of detergents.

Love top loaders ! You can soak clothes overnight, drain and then do a proper wash! Front loaders are not convenient because you can’t add in more stuff once you have something already soaking.

I used both top and front loaders in China. The top is the one that most people had. The resort had the front loader. Often the machines are outside on balconies. We should have planned for more drying time because we didn’t want to pack wet clothes. Used hair dryer to dry a bit faster. I’m amazed that most people’s clothes don’t get blown off the balcony hanging racks when there are stronger wind gusts especially on high floors.

Huh, Hotel don't wash underpants? I stayed in plenty of hotels in China and have used their cleaning services which has included underpants. No problem 🤔

I grew up with top loaders. I currently have frontloading LG washer and dryer. The good thing about front loaders is they use much less water then top loaders.

We have top loaders in Australia, you can choose to buy a top loader or a front loader ( the one with the front door) 😊

My Chinese ex-wife always hand washed her underwear. Even though we had a washing machine. Which was far more hygienic than hand washing. She would often rope me into doing that for her which I hated. “Baby, I’m going to make something harder than it has to be, but I want you to do it and you can’t do it in a more efficient way.” There are a lot of things I miss about being married. Having to do dumb shit because of old wives’ tales even though the modern world has moved on is not one of them.
