Of course I do!

Whites (bleach)
a load that we do not dry (I guess thats delicates? Or things we don't want to shrink)
then everything else in warm

Been working well for the past 14 years I have been doing it for myself.

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?

OMG, I have to sort out all our laundry, its not good to mix them all together, the whites will start to look dull, and I have different detergents for my whites, darks, towels and sheets.

Yep! I have 3 of these in the basement:
IMAGE

*white towels (sanitized & bleached)
*colored towels (sanitized)
*cotton underwear, work t-shirts, cotton socks (hot wash, cold rinse)
*work denim (warm wash, cold rinse)
*pants (dress denim and casual pants - cold wash, cold rinse - damp dry)
*dark shirts (cold wash, cold rinse - damp dry)
*hand washables (bras, wool socks)
*sheets
*blankets
*DD's laundry
*DS's laundry



What do you mean by "sanitize" and you sound like my mother Chat Icon and she is the one who taught me how to do laundry! She has such a specific method to laundry!

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?

nope! i'm WAY too lazy to sort.. plus i hate doing a lot of small loads and using so much water/electric. even with our HE machine, i have to think a little bit green Chat Icon
everything gets thrown in the same load and washed on cold... i've had no problems at all. i ususally do the dogs stuff separate though.

Re: Does anyone actually sort laundry?

I wash towels separate in hot, but everything else, including whites, go in together. I wash on cold and nothing ever runs.

I do sheets and towels together. I usually dont separate the clothes, except if I have something I have never washed before and its a dark color I usually pull it out and try to make sure nothing white goes in that load. I hate doing laundry so I am pretty lazy about it.

I sort; by colour, fabric, if it has extra trim that might damage another garment...
