How to extend the life of clothing without spending hours a week doing laundry?
How can I make sure my clothes stay colorful and sturdy without hand washing everything? Any general laundry tips to extend life of clothing? Any good laundry gizmos that help save time?

Wash cold on a gentle cycle, hang dry, use minimal detergent.
Cold water wash, hang dry, avoid fabric softener.
Hanging dry is definitely the biggest/easiest option
what do you mean by minimal detergent? assuming you mean liquid detergent but if you use pods would you recommend switching to liquid to have more control over that? if its cheaper i'd probably consider the switch its not much more inconvenient
dang i didnt realize how old this thread was
Liquid or powder, you can nearly always use about half the recommended amount or less.
so you recommend that over the pods?
Yes.
