I think I’ve just made the worst decision ever.
I decided to wash my oodie and it’s so heavy water now. The washer couldn’t cope with the weight of it when it tried to spin it down (on gentle).
I’m now turning on the heating to help it dry, I don’t even know if I can get it dry at this rate.
I have backup oodies thankfully but this is the worst weather to be washing it in.
Dumb decision by me and yours truly.
Make sure you're wringing it out, and not just by, well, wringing it. People used to use mangles to get all the water out, so you can use a similar concept even today - essentially scrape down it (in a way that won't damage it) and just drag the water out that way.
