"where can i buy rice, how do i post a letter, i think i have broken a bone shall i go to hospital, how do i buy stamps" and loads more from people that should own velvro fastening shoes and clothing.
Is it now a forum requirement that you need a full frontal lobotomy?
To avoid encouraging these poor hapless souls i wonder why people reply, spend time finding the answers and offer detailed advise when the OP cant be bothered to look themselves or use plain common sense  i am waiting for the how do i turn on the shower, shall i brush my teeth/wash my clothes etc to start appearing  | | | | | Rob, you spoke too soon!!

Alternatively, you could lay the dirty ones out on the counter at the 5 à Sec and pay to have them dry cleaned. I wonder if they would come back on hangers?.. |

When I was backpacking around mexico I just washed my undies by hand with soap in the sink. Mrs G can extend the 'life' of her undies by wearing a fresh panty liner each day.
Not sure how men could do that... I think if you 'paper dry' instead of just 'drip drying' (as some men do  ) that would help lots
As far as your t-shirts and jeans etc go, I find it helps to hang them outside in the air for a bit to freshen them up. Then just shower often (if water still works) and use a really effective deo.
Good luck
