My mum had put in a load for me recently, a rare occasion, and I was puzzled when I emptied the machine to find the bed linen all neatly folded.
She says this is the proper way to do it and stops it from creasing.
I think it's bonkers, have never heard of it in my life and I don't mind creased sheets. I say, surely the sheets don't get as clean, because the linen need to rub against each other and need to be loose for the detergent/water to reach all areas.
But DM looks at me as if I'm stupid and says the detergent/water will soak through and access all parts of the linen, and that shaking action of the washing machine is what loosens the dirt.
What do you say?
