Because let’s face it: Sometimes even the most loyal of fashion advisors can’t keep up with the latest tricks of the laundry trade.

Is It Better to Wash Your Clothes Inside Out?
The most obvious way to find out if it’s better to wash your clothes inside out is to search the matter on Google, right? Well, have you tried that yet? If not, then let’s try it now just to make sure we’re all on the same page. There are some guesses as to why it’s supposedly better to wash your clothes inside out. One theory suggests that it helps protect the garment’s exterior fabric from the abrasive effects of the inside of the machine. Another suggests that the inside out washing method helps keep the clothes’ dye from rubbing off.

Should You Always Wash Dark Colors Inside Out?
As previously established, it’s generally not necessary to do anything special when washing your clothes.

Now, we don’t really know if that’s what’s going on here, but it’s not like we have any other ideas. If you know more about this mystery than we do, then please let us know in the comments section.

Should You Always Wash White Clothes Inside Out?
If you’re washing white clothes inside out, then we’re not sure why you need to do it. The National Institute of Health says that the procedure is actually a bit harsher on white clothing than it is on black clothes.

If you do want to wash your clothes inside out anyway, though, it may be worth setting aside a little of your money so that you can buy a machine that does both.
Why Should You Always Wash Your Clothes Inside Out?
While there are a lot of reasons to wash your clothes inside out—to get rid of stains and dirt, to avoid wrinkles and wrinkles in the fabric—there’s one particular reason that we think should always be considered: because it helps make them look clean. And while we don’t mean to imply that washing your clothes inside out will always result in them looking good (that would be unrealistic), there are many reasons why washing your clothes outside may seem like the best way to do things: because it removes dirt and grime from them in a way that only white garments can; because it makes them easier for someone else (e.g., grandma or grandpa) to clean; or simply because you want something pretty
