Your washing machine should be smarter about washing clothes than you are
Washing machines have always felt like a sort of necessary evil. I'm wouldn't go so far as suggesting that no one enjoys washing clothes – heck, I find doing the dishes kind of cathartic. People are weird. But most washers feel like big, dumb machines. Machines that break down, lose our unmentionables and often ruin the clothes they should be cleaning. It doesn't seem… Read More
