セーターの洗濯方法の話
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Good morning. Good morning. Good morning.
Very cold today. Oh yeah. Getting really cold, yeah.
I think it's winter now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Officially winter.
Finally it is. Yeah? Yeah.
I brought the, uh, what do you call them? Like down jacket?
Down jacket? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The big jacket? The big boy jacket?
Yeah, man. Fuckin'. You brought that.
Mine's like, mine's still teenager. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, he's still high school.
Yeah, the Sotokimo one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, that's not Kikimo exactly. I'm inside outing it.
Ah, I see, I see. That's how you... That's how I fold shit, yeah.
I don't know why I do that, but I do that.
When do you remember that from? How do you know that I do that?
Like every day. Oh, do I do that every day?
All the time.
I don't know why I do that. I inside out it, and then fold it when I'm outside.
True. You have to...
Right, think about that. You have to, like, put inside inside.
Cause that's where you touch...
Wait, what do you mean? What do you mean?
I mean, why do you do this?
I thought that was the manner.
Oh, the manner? Ah.
That's what I... I remember being taught of, like, when you're wearing...
When you want to take off your jacket outside... Yeah.
Uh-huh.
You sort of want to inside out it, and then kind of fold it.
Like, have it, and then kind of, like, settle somewhere.
Like, that's what I remember being taught.
Oh, I see, I see. That makes sense.
Well, right now, it's not making sense to me. I don't know why I'm doing it.
How did it make sense for you? Like, what makes sense?
No, cause the explanation makes sense.
How?
Cause when you... Like, it's... We had a space here, so it's not a problem.
But, like, when you enter some... For example, like, I'm...
Visiting your place, for example. Okay.
And, like, I mean, for example, like, windy day or rainy day, I wear some coats.
Uh-huh.
And, like, getting... Coats got wet and, like, a bit dirty.
Oh!
And then if I... I see.
Put off and just put on your sofa, then that's, like...
It's gonna get on the sofa. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The outside dirty air and dust and pollution and shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So if you turn the outside inside and then...
Mm-hmm.
Fold, that's like a...
The dirty side is... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wrapped or inside.
Right, right, right.
So it's not gonna touch whatever it's...
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's...
Touching the coat. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think that makes sense as a...
I see.
As a manner.
I see.
Yeah.
Oh. Now it made sense.
Yeah.
Why I'm doing it. Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Oh, I see. I see, I see.
I should do that often.
Oh, yeah! The... I guess you don't see a lot of people doing it then.
Well, yeah.
Since you thought I was the only one doing it.
True. Yeah.
Oh.
But I see all the time you do the...
Yeah, yeah.
Every day, every day I do that.
Yeah.
Especially like those...
Coats.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Right. Jackets and coats.
Yeah.
I do that.
Wow. Well, that actually makes sense. Like I... I learned...
Like new, new, new, you know, culture.
Oh, true.
I sometimes even do it with like the jacket.
Like the suit jacket.
Like the usual jacket?
Yeah.
Oh.
For like weddings and shit.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You know, you have to wear a jacket, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Inside out it.
Yeah.
And then fold it on. I put it on my...
Right.
...arm.
I do that.
Well, maybe that's the right way.
Maybe.
Is that the gentleman's way...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
...of doing it?
Well, I hope so.
Yeah.
I hope I've been doing it right.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah.
We look alike today, man.
Yeah.
True.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How do you wash your...
Those...
Sweaters.
Sweaters.
How do you wash sweaters?
Recently I put into the...
The newly bought...
Yeah.
...Doramushiki...
...Doramushiki sentaki, right?
...Doramushiki sentaki, right?
セーターの洗濯方法
And then let him wash.
But how though?
There's different modes, right?
Oh.
There's the hand washing mode.
Oh, I see.
There's the gentle shit and there's a normal one.
What do you do?
Yeah.
Usual.
Usual?
Yeah, for this one.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
You're okay with that?
You're comfortable?
I thought things like that should be done in like a gentle mode.
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
Do you do with the gentle?
Yeah.
This...
I think this has to be done in a gentle mode as well.
Like it's not...
I don't know if it's durable enough to withstand...
Yeah.
...the normal shit.
Yeah.
Right.
So I'm thinking about going...
Let this go through the gentle mode, like the hand washing mode.
Mm-hmm.
ウールセーターの洗濯
Yeah.
Oh, you recently bought that one?
Yes, I did.
Oh, and you haven't tried it.
I have not had a chance to wash it.
No.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Mm-hmm.
It looks...
What is it?
I don't know.
Maybe it's polyester?
I don't know.
Wait, let me check.
Wool?
It's wool.
Oh.
Yeah.
If it's wool, then that's...
That's gonna be...
You have to do it gently, right?
Yeah, I think so.
Wool or something you have to...
Wait, let me...
And then you're gonna...
It's gonna be shrink for sure if you console it.
Yeah.
Yeah, because it's wool.
I...
Um...
There's this other wool sweater that I bought.
Oh.
And I washed it.
Yeah.
But I washed it with the hand-washing mode.
Mm-hmm.
And I'm right now at the process of drying it.
Oh, okay.
And I don't know.
It feels like it hasn't shrunk.
Oh.
You know?
I haven't worn it yet.
Uh-huh.
But it feels like it's...
Oh.
You know, it's the same size.
Oh, great.
It feels like...
Yeah, yeah.
The Drumski...
Yeah, the shitty Drumski Sentake that I accidentally bought.
I think if you...
Oh, that's great.
If you're in the hand-washing mode, I think it might be okay.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
Oh.
Then I have to try that, right?
Yeah.
Hand-washing mode.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Because this one, I've been, you know, washing the usual, you know, old Sentake.
セーターの乾燥方法
The normal one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then I hang with the usual hanger.
Mm-hmm.
And then dry this.
Uh-huh.
So it's been, like, becoming, like, bigger and bigger than this.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
It's bigger?
Yeah.
Not smaller?
Yeah.
Because when you hang this, when it's wet...
The gravity kind of pulls it down?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm, like, always, like, that's right.
Oh!
And then...
Dude.
It dries at the same time, so...
No, no, dude, man.
I gotta...
That's not...
I gotta...
I have to tell you something.
I have to.
If you have a sweater...
Yeah.
Like, if you have a cloth that really soaks up water...
Yeah.
...and it becomes heavy...
Mm-hmm.
...you can't do that, man.
Let me...
Let me go get some sort of a cloth, and I'll demonstrate it to you.
Okay.
Hold on.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
So that's my old style.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Oh, wait.
So...
I see.
Yeah.
I mean, now I have a drum ski, you know, so I...
I don't have to do that way anymore, but...
I see.
I see.
You don't have your microphone, by the way.
Oh, right.
Oh, hangers.
Yeah.
I didn't know they...
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't know we had hangers.
All right.
Yeah.
A game changer for you.
Oh, thank you.
Let me change your life.
Oh, okay.
Please.
Yes.
Well, that's a good hanger, by the way.
That's a good...
Yeah, that's a good hanger.
It's like the ones that...
Yeah, I know.
...doesn't leave a mark on the shoulder.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right?
That's a good one.
Good one, right?
It is rubber, so it's going to be a little bit tough to get it off, right?
Right, right, right, right.
But it's not going to slip.
That's the good part.
Right.
It's true.
Yeah.
So...
Okay.
When you have a really wet sweater...
セーターの干し方
Okay.
...and you hang it through the shoulders, it's going to leave a mark, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't want to do that.
Yeah.
What you want to do is you want to fold it in half.
Oh.
Fold it in half.
Okay.
First, fold it in half, right?
Okay.
You want to really align the edges.
Yeah.
Okay.
Right?
And then what you want to do is sort of...
So it does take a little bit of a skill to do this, but what you want to do is do this,
sort of right here.
Boom.
So if you do this, it is not...
Oh.
Wait, wait, wait.
Can you do that again, please?
Yes, yes, yes.
So what we...
So what's happening...
Yeah.
...what's happening is you want to first flip your...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
...hanger upside down...
Oh, I see that.
Okay.
...so that it attaches to...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
...the arm and the body...
I see.
...part, right?
I see, I see.
...and then you want to flip the whole...
I see.
...hanger and the clothes.
So...
So the arm and the body...
Right.
...is like hanging.
The arm and the body is the one that's attached to the hanger.
Yeah, I see, I see.
So...
Oh.
It's...
So if you do this, it's not going to...
Wow.
...it's not going to stretch.
Right.
Right.
So...
Wow.
Please do this.
Yeah, thank you.
This will save your clothes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Oh, yeah.
That saved my life.
Yeah, I know.
It changed your life, didn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is that...
Is that like...
Yes.
So it's, you know, like folded.
Uh-huh.
Is it difficult to dry that?
Yes, it is very difficult to dry.
Oh, okay.
It will take a longer time drying.
Okay, I see, I see.
So you might want to sort of...
Uh-huh.
...get it maybe...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
...inside out it.
Mm.
Great.
But it will take a longer time.
Okay, okay, okay.
But less damage.
But it will prevent you from, you know...
Stretching.
Stretching, so...
Yeah, wow.
Worth the time.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Please.
Yeah, thank you.
Please, please.
I will...
I will surely do that.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, please.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
That's nice.
Nice looking shirt, right?
パンツの干し方
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I saw you...
How you...
How do you do with the pants?
Pants?
Do you want to dry your pants?
Yeah.
Do you have, like, professional techniques?
Well, what I usually do is I just get, like, you know, those...
Oh, yeah.
...clippers?
Yeah.
Okay.
The hangers with...
Yeah, I usually just do that.
I think that's the easiest, I think.
Yeah.
What if you don't have pinches?
If you don't have the pinches...
Yeah, I don't have any, like, those.
I have just usual hangers.
Usual hangers?
How thick are your hangers?
Is it one of those, like, wire hangers that are, like, thin as fuck, or...
Not like wire.
Like a plastic one.
Plastic ones that are, like...
Yeah, I think usual, like, black.
Like, half a centimeter thickness of the...
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
You know the one...
It's, like, when you get...
When you go to the, like, a cleaning shop or something.
Oh, the one they gave you?
Yeah, usual, like...
That's got a pretty thick shoulder, right?
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah, yeah.
If it's like that, what I usually do is I...
Your waist, right?
Okay.
You have your waistline right here, and then you would hook it on the hanger using the
waistline, sort of.
You get what I'm saying?
On this?
Like this?
No, no, no.
I don't do that.
What I do is...
You would get a hanger.
Uh-huh.
So, if the bottom of this t-shirt right here...
If this is the...
Yeah, the waistline.
If this is your waistline...
Yeah, okay.
I do this.
I just usually do this.
Ooh.
Sort of like that.
You would just...
Oh, I see.
...fall down like that.
Huh.
And then just hang it.
This works pretty well.
Okay.
Yeah.
Is that a professional one?
I'm not sure if this is a professional way.
セーターの伸びない干し方
Uh-huh.
I see.
But...
But it works for me.
Okay.
Great, great, great.
So, I just go with this.
I'll try that.
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
Professional.
Yeah.
Professional...

Alright.
All right.
Thanks for sitting guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
