if you use pads to clean your floors (the ones you can wash in the machine - like the steam mop pads)..
Do you put them in alone or with your clothes?
I keep running them alone, but I can't stand feeling like I am wasting $ and energy. However, isn't it kinda gross to put them in with clothes - or is this not really a factor since heat kills germs?
What do you guys do?

I put them all together... no biggie... dont waste the water 
ETA: Why gross? The detergent is cleaning everything anyway. I also wash sneakers with my clothes and I dont even wanna think about whats on the bottom of those!  It all gets clean regardless

that's what I kept thinking, but every time I would look at the bottom of the pad, I would cringe...I like the dirt & germs that I can't see! Ignorance is bliss!!

I wash them with the rest of the cleaning rags/dusting rags I use on the days I clean several rooms or I wash them with the towels on a hot cycle.

I do this too. I feel that hand towels and bath mats get gross too.

I rinse them in the sink to get rid of some of the chemicals then throw it in the regular laundry. But when I think about it - I walk on the floor in socks and never think to wash them seperately.

I don't wash them with our clothing.
I wash them with towels or hand towels or table clothes and kitchen towels - I throw them in with that stuff depending on the day.

I bought 4 of them!
I don't want to wash with my clothes, but I use a shared laundry room, so for $ & space reasons,. I can't wash them alone all the time. I use a lot rags & micro fiber cloths instead of paper towels or sponges, so I keep a plastic bag we call the "rag hamper" and put the pads & rags in there, so when I am down to my last mop pad, I usually have enough rags to wash.

My socks never get as dirty as my mop pads because I they aren't usually wet.

Re: if you use pads to clean your floors (the ones you can wash in the machine - like the steam mop pads)..
I wash then with the floor mats and dog bedding. Just couldn't wash with our reg clothes or towels. Grosses me out to even put them in my washing machine.
I also wash socks seperarly. I know I'm nuts but it Skeeves me out to mix our dirty socks with undies,towels etc.
