 +> "What really helps both methods is the clothes I choose to begin with. They're almost exclusively campwear, beach wear, sports wear, that sort of thing. My work outfits are dark, plain-colored board shorts or swim trunks with the webbing cut out, and long-sleeve black "[[https://amzn.to/38e6cfO|DriWorks]]" shirts. My "going out" clothes are just decent looking performance garments meant for camping/hiking/outdoorsy stuff, and a couple decent polos. The only cotton stuff I have anymore are socks, underbritches, and a couple denim jeans that I try not to wear." -- tatertom((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/bcir5p/how_do_you_do_laundry/ekrk86e/))
