Do you separate your laundry?

Or do you just throw it all in the same load. After years of going to laundry mats and trying to avoid spending more money than I have to, I now wash everything in one load, unless I have a new colored shirt, then I was it separately for the first time.

I separate it. I'm paranoid that something dark will fade onto my white stuff.

Well since I don't own any white clothing it is easier for me I suppose. I seperate the ligher darks from the darks. heh! My boyfriend just throws all his clothes in at once but I think that is because he is lazy.

Nope. Most of my clothese are dark colors anyway, so everything gets washed together.

I do the same for the most part, except if something is red than it goes in darks only.

I seperate everything that I wash. My kids wear a lot of bright colors that I wash together and I don't want them to bleed on to my whites. I have a baby and his stuff is washed in baby detregent so that is seperate too.

I hardly ever seperate the whites from the colored. I usually just do undergarments, shirts, then pants. Or if it's a small load, just chuck everything in together. I haven't had any clothes change color...yet.

I used to when I first moved in with my boyfirend... but then reality sunk in...and i realized it really doesn't matter... i wash newer stuff, "by the rules" but only for teh first few washes... I still do jeans seperately and I *try* do keep the whites seperated still

In my view i laundry the dress every day because if its not laundry by the end of the week it take too much of time to laundry so it make me irritate

I used to always separate out my laundry until I product tested a new product that says you don't have to. I think it's from Woolite. Amazing stuff!!! You don't have to separate anything and no colors bleed. I don't even care if it's white and red mixed together.

Ever since my son was born, I've been doing this too. :) Good to know I am not the only one. I just do one load with everything in it.. It's easier.
