Had a discussion where they claimed it doesn’t matter whether you wash your clothes inside out or not. I’ve always been taught that because of your body oil, skin and odour, it is best to turn your clothes inside out. What do you do?

Clothes with printed design, buttons or zippers, yes. If something is really dirty, I let the outside out.
But I recently found out it’s the drier that ruins printed clothes, inside out or not.
It’s both, though the dryer does it worse overall. The abrasion from washing machines as the agitator does its thing can rub and damage some clothes with the applied designs. That’s why inside-out is better for those clothes.
The heating from the dryer will accelerate cracking no matter what, so taking anything out with a design you wish to preserve and air drying it is a better choice.
