Buddy...

  1. Turn your shirt inside out before putting it in the machine.
  2. Set the machine to cold water, delicate/gentle cycle.
  3. The picture you posted is of a dry, hot desert, right? What do you think a machine called a dryer that uses heat will do? Hang them to dry on a cheap rack from Amazon or your shower curtain rod instead.

I have shirts that still look practically new after dozens and dozens of washes.

I actually have a pretty sensitive sense of smell.

The smell is caused by bacteria blooming. If you're using good detergent, it kills the bacteria. Likewise, soap is bipolar, so one end of the molecule grips the oils you excrete and grime you pick up, and the hydrophilic end gets it all yoinked off during the rinse.

Just fyi the term for molecules with hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions is amphipathic not bipolar.

How did we get onto the subject of homophobic amphibians?
