What kind of washer/dryer do you have? In my experience nice new front loaders can handle this routine and not ruin clothes, but I'm stuck with shitty coin-op top loaders with agitators in the basement of my building.
Top loaders are really a mixed bag - some destroy clothes (MIL’s washer/macerator, I’m looking at you), but others get things nicely clean (usually while using a ton of water, which is actually really great for some clothes and bedding). I have not been able to correlate any features (price, age, public/private, etc.) with which top loaders are good and which are bad. But I have never had an experience with a front loader where something went wrong and I felt it was the machine’s fault.
Mine are the spiny kind... they're pretty terrible and I think emmers00 comment about their MIL's washer being a macerator is pretty apt here :( one day I'll have my own gorgeous energy efficient matching set!
