What is the effect of washing clothes inside out?
The benefits of washing clothes inside out are :1) The garment goes through all the wear & tear of washing on the inner side & does not affect the look (outside) - same garment when dried in open (under sun) in most countries fades - that fading is also on the inner side : leaving the outer surface intact.2) All the buttons, rivets, sequins etc on the face of the garment do not undergo the grind of washing be it hand wash or machine wash.3) Especially in hand wash the hot spots of dirt like collars/cuffs get a good scrub during the washing process & this helps in better cleaning of these areas, since the dirt in these areas is stubborn & does not leave the garment easily.4) In earlier days the color fastness of fabrics was very low & the garments used to cross stain on other garments (in contact with) during washing. This is avoided or minimsed as the impression of cross staining comes on the inner side, sparing the face of the garment intact.5) Rubbing of garments with another during washing creates friction & this friction results in fuzziness, rough hand feel & pilling (small pin head kind of structures on the surface) - washing them inside out prevents this change in physical appearance affecting the outlook of the garment.6) Also, it was a (mis)conception that cleaning them inside out helps in better cleaning - though there is no scientific base for it as the soap molecules attach to the dirt particles irrespective of the garment being washed in or out.All this was done to prolong the life of garment, extend it's wearability & preserve the outlook for many years - basically to look as new even after dozens of washes.But in the world of disposable fashion I think it no longer matters anymore !!
