Who here seperates there laundry

[TanisHalfElven]

I have never seperated clothes in the laundry. I just put in all in, set it on hot and wait for it be done. Never had any issues. Granted i'm a grad student so my clothes aren't expensive, but i've never ruined a shirt this way.

Is all that just a myth ?

Colors bleed.

 

[punjabiplaya]

nope, I just separate my laundry

Why, hello their!

 

[AFurryReptile]

Only on the first wash. After that they don't bleed anymore.

For me anyway.

Sometimes I do sometimes I don't depends on how lazy I am.
Doesn't matter either way.

Try thowing a bright red shirt in with your whites on hot sometime.

Silks and jeans all in one load! That'll get the ol wife nattering in the ear.

OK, Mr Pink Shirt

My wife has laundry down to a science. She not only separates, but puts like fabrics and shades of color together. She also zips all zippers, uses mesh bags for bras, and turns all socks right side out.

I'm not even allowed to touch the washing machine

"Seperates"?

I've done that and it has done exactly nothing...
Though maybe I never use hot since laundry doesn't need to be destroyed like that.

"Seperates"?

It's the British vernacular

 

[lord_emperor]

Never have and have never had a problem.

Dirty black work jeans go in with stinking socks go in with white formal shirt.

 

[TridenT]

I don't have enough clothes to separate them... (Really)

Only things I separate are my white towels from everything else.

You can get away with stuff like that sometimes, but it can damage stuff. Throwing jeans in with lighter weight stuff like t-shirts or women's clothes (seriously, it seems like their fabric is the most fragile stuff known to man) can make them wear out faster. Rivets, zippers, and rough heavy fabric can wear lighter weight stuff.

lights and darks.

khaki's go in either to fill out a load.

wash everything on warm, cold rinse.

Right here is a secret for all you new husbands. Screw this up just ONCE(ideally very early on in the relationship), and you never are expected or asked to do it again.

Wait until the pump stops working. Then you'll be allowed to touch it.

[GodlessAstronomer]

Separating your laundry is racist.

I don't know. I pay someone to do my laundry. I'm too busy.

 

[shortylickens]

I wash colors in hot water the first time and from then on I only use cold water. They dont bleed.

I always wash whites in hot water with a little bleach. No yellowing if I'm not careless.
