As a mere male i am probably doing everything wrong with washing.
I wait till the washing basket is full. Everthing is put in, sheets changed about every two weeks, underwerar, hankies shirts socks and trousers.
They all go together in the washingmachine. I use an Easycare wash. Takes about 90 minutes.
Then put them over a maiden in the kitchen to dry overnight. Then start ironing and leave them to air on a maiden i one of the bedrooms. It works for me.
