I picked out this... thing. The duvet cover had eaten everything in the machine and turned itself into a postmodern textile art piece.

Well, yeah waterproof, but I guess what I mean is how is that cycle any different?

[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I assume the soaking cycle times are different? I feel like they would be longer in this case? I don't know the chemistry of detergents, water, and hydrophobic molecules (used in clothing) but I assume the automation either increases soaking time for stain penetration or decrease it if it doesn't matter. ,

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
