Inside out clothes in the washing basket

Why? Why can’t my family do this? It’s so simple, You put your clothes in the basket. Please turn them the right side out so I can wash them without having to do this. So annoying.

Clothes get washed the same inside out as right way round? Why does this matter?

Another day of women falling victim to their own oppression. I wash my clothes inside out, I’m alive.

You're supposed to wash them inside out especially if there are buttons or zips

I wash and dry everything as it’s put in the basket - up to my kids to sort it out when they put it away and then put it on to wear again! I’d like to think the clothes are washed equally inside and out so it doesn’t really matter how they are put into the machine!!!
