Well that explains why the bottle is almost empty

DH is an extremely well educated man.
Today I watched him put ironing water (our tap water is ridiculously hard) into the fabric softener dispenser.
He loathes the dishwasher for some reason maybe that’s the reason he has been known to put the pod things for dishes in the washing machine.

eh?

It's better than putting fabric softener into the iron!

Hahahah yeah as PP mentioned, better than fabric softner in the iron

I discovered my dh cleaning the shower with leather wipes 🙄

I have a sponge that I use to only clean the bath with. DH knows this is the 'bath cleaning 'sponge'. Caught him cleaning the dining table with it once

DH uses a capful of white vinegar instead of zoflora in our washing. He also regularly runs the dishwasher without a pod.

Are these men this hopeless at work as well? Or do they do this 'learned helplessness' only at home?

Ironing water? Fabric softener dispenser? I am obviously doing house chores all wrong as I have no idea.

Well that’s made me laugh, Thank you op!

YABU to find this male domestic uselessness remotely amusing. It’s tiresome.

Vinegar instead of zoflora is presumably deliberate though.

All automatic washing machines have fabric softener dispensers Aprilx - it’s the drawer in the middle with the little flower on. Don’t use it myself but I know what it’s for.

It is tiresome - true.
But after the day I’ve had it’s made me laugh. It’s not the content it’s the way it’s told.

I use vinegar instead of fabric softener, that’s pretty common. Why does washing need disinfectant?

My DH would do this as he can't read any labels without his glasses on. I very much doubt he would understand what ironing water is either as he would rather wear crumpled clothing than do any ironing.

Ummm why does laundry need fabric softener or vinegar?? I suppose the same applies to disinfectant. Personal preferences I would guess.

Vinegar is much better in a wash for everyone and thing concerned than Zoflora

Why put in either?

I don’t use a tumble drier so vinegar stops my towels being crispy

The fabric softener drawer on your washing machine??

Because some of us have dry skin and/or kids with sensory issues that need soft clothes.

The vinegar also stops the machine getting so scaled up (live in hard water area)

Missing the point - as I and my family all have eczema I would never use fabric softener or bio washing liquid. It's extremely bad for the skin.

Why put in either?

Because some people like it.

DH once cleaned DS2's bum with scented hand and face wipes. His bum was so red! I'm pretty sure DH thought all wipes were the same.

I also use white vinegar instead of fabric softener. Cheaper, better for the environment and my clothes don't have a cloying perfume scent. They just smell clean.

I did laugh at this, because it's exactly the kind of thing I would do! I once went to preheat the oven and DH came back to me a few minutes later telling me that I had put the grill on instead (in my defence, the modes aren't actually labelled, you're just expected to instinctively know)! I only use the hob and microwave - I can just about manage those! It isn't necessarily a man thing.
