I want to know about your dirty laundry!!!!!!!

Since I am a male, sorting laundry is beyond my present capability. Anyway, I wouldn't have enough whites to make a load and I hate to waste water and detergent. So, for the sake of the environment, and global warming, (are you reading this Al?), I pretty much throw it all in the same load. Even with bleach, the whites do not come thouroughly clean, as shown on TV. If I have a new garment that is colorful, then I might do it seperate or do only dark colors. I have acess to front loading machines and can do blankets and large items. I just washed a sleeping bag the other day. It was a fun experience dong it right in your own home and not having to drive to the laundro-mat. I have had good luck with not contaminating whites with darker colors. Eight machines going at once? Yikes, who can keep track of that?

Yep I do sort by colours and fabrics, but I"m flexible :) I"m will not panic if by mistake I washed my green sweater with the purple load :) I am careful with delicates, however and a little less flexible with those. JUst because experience thaught me not to play with them. I try not to wash light colors with dark colors unless it's something I don't mind if it comes out a bit to the multicolor side :) Clothes that have more than one color , well it depends. I either choose by the predominant color or just put them together with similar colors.

When I used to live in an apartment I have seen it a lot. I was wondering if the are thinking. I always sort my laundry. I am crazy about proper laundry. I sort towels and bedding from clothes. Colors are light and dark. White are only with withes. I am crazy about white color, so white needs to be pure white....

Most of our clothes are t-shirts for work and slacks. We've never really cared about sorting. All of my clothes get dumped in together, even the undies. Now, towels go by themselves because they are so heavy and hold so much water, they take longer to dry. Linens go by themselves. And hubbies work clothes go by themselves. Other than that...not too picky. Now, if I have a brand new red t-shirt, I probably won't put it in with my white undies.

I sort by darks, reds and whites. If the reds are old and I don't have enough for a single load, I'll add them to my darks. I've never had anything bleed. I only sort the whites because I wash them in hot water. Anything that's new and dark or red, I wash separately the first time.

In winter, I do not like to wash my clothes, it's too cold, when my finger touch the water, I'm tremble. My father do not allow me bring my clothes to the laudromat, because he think that the washerwomen always use Formalin to wash the clothes, the Formalin is harmful to health. So I must wash my cotton-padded clothes by myself. You know the clothes are not so easy to dry, so the clothes are little moist, I put them into house, or put in in my bed, and than turn on the electric blanket, that is a good way to dry my clothes, or I'v no idea.

i always separate my laundry and i never want to mix the white color clothes with the coloured ones... otherwise, the white ones will be ruined... i always do my own laundry and never been to a laundrymat before...

It all goes it regardless of color. Yes I put reds and whites together and I don't care. Sure the odd sock will have a pink hue but it doesn't bother me cause it isn't stinky or caked with mud so it is all good. Reason is I have one washer and have to do laundry every day cause I can't stand seeing more then a load or two in the hamper so I have to do it. My washer has one setting which is full so I always fill it no matter the color or material.

I don't go to the laundry mat, but I do sort my laundry! Otherwise I tend to end up with pink and purple looking whites! And that really sucks. Especially if you paid a lot for the clothes in the first place. I sort my clothes by lights, darks, and baby. Pretty self-explanatory. My daughter gets her clothes washed seperately in a special detergent so she dosen't get rashes or break out. But I don't have to sort her clothes out between colors, because almost everything is pink, white or light purple. Pretty much all pastel colors. Ever since I started sorting my clothes this way, I've never had them bleed.
