    God yeh, go for it. I find that less harsh than handwashing tbh.
    As long as it's not tights or something that can snag/melt etc.

    I generally just throw everything in, set to Quick Wash and hey presto, everything comes out greeny blue...I will learn not to mix clothes one day.

    I wash everything on a cold, fast wash.

    I don't know, I can shrink all your clothes using the washing machine if that's any good to you?

    My tumble drier has a 'lingerie' setting.

    I know that's not strictly relevant to the thread, but I wanted to mention it anyway.

    I machine was everything, and then if it gets ruined I buy another one.

    I'm kind of a bad ass like that.

    hand washing and ironing are two things I just really don't bother with.... throw the hand wash stuff in on a delicate cycle most newer machines even have a little hand wash symbol on them! :)

    ironing too is another waste of time... unless it looks unbelievably creased I refuse to iron things I reckon your body heat takes the wrinkles out by the time you leave the house :D

    Yeah, I only really iron shirts and trousers. Generally wouldn't bother with t-shirts or jeans.

    As for those people who iron socks and undergarments...:confused:

    I hand wash some things if I need something quickly and don't have enough to put on a machine wash
