Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
Every time I see this thread I'm reminded of the scene from Friends where Ross and Rachel do laundry...

So I guess most of you guys don't bleach your whites? DH wears at least two white T shirts under his work shirts every day plus I wear white camis under my button down shirts and I wear wife beaters to bed a lot. If I skip ONE week of bleaching I feel like they get so dingy? I soak them in bleach every time I wash them for at least an hour and they come out great!
I do... DS wears white shirts to school... you'd be amazed what bleach can get out

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
Nope...I chuck it all in together and wash in cold water.
I wash the kids' clothes separately from ours, but only because they have so much, they are a full load.
Otherwise...all goes in together and we hope for the best.

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
This was an area of compromise when DH and I first moved in together. He was not impressed with my lack of sorting.
So, we sort:
Whites (bleach)
Sheets & towels (hot)
Clothes to wash in hot
Shirts (button-down/lightweight)
Pants and jeans
Anything that's left

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
I separate. Before DH, I didn't separate...and I could see a total difference between our whites. To make life easier, I went to BBB and got a laundry hamper that's labeled and divided into two sections- "Lights" and "Darks". Now my laundry is already separated

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
I totally sort.... but DH and I are sheet hogs... so once the hundreds of pillow cases and sheets are off the bed (all white), and the towels are added, that's already load #1
whites get oxyclean and tide in warm water, and colors get only tide, and cold water...

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
I do:
Sheets
Towels
DH's uniforms for work
DS' clothes
lights
darks
"delicates"
Sometimes I will put all the whites out and bleach them. I also use color safe bleach on DH's uniforms b/c god knows what nastiness comes home on them

I can't imagine not sorting it! I have enough unwanted pink socks (from "sorting accidents"  ) to remind me to do it every time.

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?
we have 2 hampers. light and dark clothes. I also wash the towels separately.
but I will not wash whites only, I have to draw the line somewhere. I use Tide and cold water and I’ve never had any light colors run on the whites.

wow good for you ladies!! i guess i am the minority!
i honestly don't see a difference in my laundry...
if anything i would probably like to do the whites separate so that the socks n tshirts stay nice and white- but for now, i'll continue to dump it all together
nope.
all together washed on cold
I don't have the time to sort.
DD's clothes are separate- but again, all together washed in cold.
