1. ummmmm....nope....

[DetlefK]

2. If it's protein-stains (like blood), then Yes. Otherwise No.

[Phentex]

3. Yes. I have a setting for it which makes it easy...

With my kids gone, I rarely have to do this anymore.

4. Nope

No.

5. Most washers have a pre-soak for badly stained clothes. As far as pre-wash you'd have

to be crazy. If I wanted to pre-wash, I wouldn't need a washing machine.

6. only extreme stains

7. I always let my dog do the pre-wash.

Then I dry them and then wash them again. Lastly, I have my cat sleep in the basket on the pile of freshly washed and folded clothes and then I wash them one more time. It's a long process. When I'm not doing laundry I'm usually sleeping.

8. I jest leave 'em on in the tub

then hang 'em up to dry

9. What? People wash clothes?

I mean, dishes are one thing. They're full of remnants from your meal. But your clothes, unless you dump your food all over them, why would you create unnecessary wear and tear by washing them???

10. I find that Clorox 2 works pretty well for preventing stains - otherwise not.

11. Well, mother birds give their young pre-chewed food so I guess its ok.

[Flaleftist]

12. No. Just do 1 article of clothing per load.

13. I assume near a sink, unless one goes to a river go take advantage of the rocks.

Whatever you do, don't attempt to stand on the washing machine...

[trof]

14. Naw, I just beat 'em on a rock

Like always.
Works for me.

15. I'm more concerned with the prewashing of asses

If clothes and asses are going to be washed eventually anyway, what's the point of toilet paper?

16. Now that remark removes one from thinking of Drumpt and Korea

Thanks. I think.
