Laundry question

Can I just wash everything in cold water?

I'm tired of sorting, having different piles......cold/warm....

I would still wash sock/undies and sheets/towels separate, but can I just throw EVERYTHING else in a cold wash?

Just me and DH. No kids cloths to wash.

Laundry question

That's basically what I do unless something is exceptionally dirty and we have kids. I typically wash sheets separately but only becuase things get wrapped up in them and then don't dry completely in the dryer. I don't know why you'd separate socks, undies, towels and sheets otherwise though. I also put most things in the dryer unless they're very shrink prone or delicate. It all comes out fine.

Re: Laundry question

I wash everything together unless it's new and will bleed.
Everything in dryer unless it's known to shrink.

Only wash sheets separate.

I have no time for 2-3 loads of wash at a time if it can be done in one.

Re: Laundry question

I only use cold water too.

Laundry question

I was all our clothes together in cold water and all go in drier. Towels and sheets get washed seperate, sheets in hot water. I really don't think anything shrinks.. I feel like clothes and materials are different now than they used to be so colors don't run and clothes don't shrink.

Re: Laundry question

I do clothes in cold water. I just separate whites from darks. I only put socks and PJs in the dryer. Everything else gets hung. I put a special disinfectant for the final rinse because I'm not using hot water.

Towels and sheets I do separate from clothing because of fuzz and I do really hot water for those.

I only wash in cold. But I separate into lights and darks.

Re: Laundry question

I wash everything cold but I wash whites separately

Laundry question

I wash everything in cold together, with the exception of sheets & towels that I do separate in hot.

Laundry question

I was everything in cold. But I separate into whites, colors, delicates and towels.

Re: Laundry question

I wash all my clothes in cold together. I separate out my towels and sheets. I will prewash if exceptionally dirty.

Laundry question

I wash everything together using cold water. I think sorting is a waste of time unless something will bleed or you need to do a load of bleach for some reason.

Laundry question

I only wash in cold. But I have 2 kids and a dh so I do 4 loads a week. Pink, darks, whites, sheets and towels. But if I randomly have a full load I take out the whites and wash all together.

Laundry question

I wash in cold too, but they say you should never mix sheets/towels with clothing due to dirt etc, but I have esp if the wash is too small to run without.

Laundry question

I separate everything. Darks is one load, whites are another load. DS clothes is the third, and his I just throw in all together - I don't bother to separate his. I only do 3 loads of laundry/week.

Then I do sheets, towels and delicates separately once every few weeks. For me though, I have so many sheets/towel sets, I can do those once a month and not run out.

Re: Laundry question

I wash everything in cold, colors never run, works out great! Sheets and towels get washed in hot though.

Laundry question

I do warm for everything and separate. I don't think my clothes get as clean using cold.

Re: Laundry question

Re: Laundry question

I do all in cold togehter except socks, underwear, jeans, sheets and towels. I do separate delicate stuff though

Laundry question

I do sheets and towels together. Sometimes throw socks in if I don't mind finding them in sheets.
If I don't have alot of whites, I'll throw them in with the colors on cold.

I have a hamper with two compartments so colors and whites are separated. Makes it so much easier to just pull them out and put them into the laundry basket to bring down.
