Do you separate your laundry?

RockABye · March 2014

Colors, whites, and towels/sheets. If we're overloaded with laundry, we'll do dark and light color loads, but that doesn't happen often. ETA: I never separated my laundry before we got married. He brought that into our marriage!

I separate based on colors. I don't separate his/mine because they aren't mixed in the first place. If he had a time crunch, sure, I'd do his laundry, but we generally do our own.

SS. When I do laundry (and DH isn't around), I separate by colors. It drives DH nuts, so when he's doing laundry, it gets separated by whites, jeans, and everything else that will be washed on cold/delicate. I hate it.

Dark colors, light colors, his work clothes (they're disgusting), and towels.

Occasionally I will separate out the white socks and bleach them, but that only happens once every 6 months.

By colors, unless it's a small load. Then, everything on cold.

LuckyAngel07 · March 2014

Usually darks/lights/whites all go in together if none of it's new and I know nothing is going to bleed. I do separate jeans into their own load (possibly with other dark pants if there isn't a full load). All that gets washed on cold. Very rarely I'll actually have enough all at once to do a load of whites and throw some bleach in just to brighten it up. Towels/blankets/sheets get their own hot water cycle.

Tom has all but banned me from laundry because I don't give a fuuuuuuuuck and just throw everything in, The extent of my separation is making sure hand wash only/dry clean only stuff doesn't make its way into the washer. And I usually keep linens together.

But that's about it.

I do my own laundry, he does his own and we share towels, bedding, etc.

ecinereb · March 2014

DH and I each do our own laundry. His all goes in together but he will separate sports material stuff from the rest sometimes.

I separate colours from whites and delicates (work clothes etc) from regular (socks, t-shirts, linens) and do another separate load for sports stuff.

stephkf · March 2014

I do all of our laundry because DH would just throw it all together and it would drive me crazy. I separate whites, lights, darks, and towels/sheets. I'd love to separate it out more but we don't have that much laundry. Anything brand new gets washed alone at least once.

Sewilson33 · March 2014

I have no patience for separating color/lights/darks/blah I only separate sheets, blankets, and dedicates. If DH has a problem with that, then he can go down stairs and do ALL the damn laundry he wants!

blueeyedblossom · March 2014

My mom always separated darks, lights, underwear and towels.

I throw it ALL in together. I imagine this might change as we have kids and have more clothes. For now I don't care. We are lucky I do laundry and have clean clothes at all.

I separate by "type". All our jeans go together, our dress clothes, our tshirts etc

Xan921 · March 2014

It all goes in together in our household. I started that back in college when walking up and down 4 flights of stairs in the dorm was just too much for a bunch of different loads. I honestly don't notice any difference when I separate them so it's just easier to put them all together.

poppies717 · March 2014

I never separated when I was on my own, but DH insists. I agreed to do it if he helps with laundry. I like to think I won that one.

sgautschi · March 2014

Most of the time it all goes in at once. I don't have enough lights to make a load. I do separate out DHs work pants though and wash them with towels.

Apollo11235 · March 2014

I separate darks/lights, and delicates/regular. So 4 categories altogether.

cloudymeatballs · March 2014

Whites and colors. I will usually do towels separate, and sheets too. I do all of our laundry. It is insane how many clothes H goes thru! I swear its just me and him and I could do a load probably every day...lol
