Re: Laundry?????
I seperate because otherwise I get towel fuzzies on blacks, or my whites turn pink or blue...
I am anal and wash most things on cold except for undies and towels and blankets. Those need to eb washe don at elast warm to kill germs.

Re: Laundry?????

I wash everything together (darks, whites, towels) on warm. If it has bever been washed before and its a dark color then I will wash it separate- but I live in an apt and it's $2 to wash and $2 to dry- so I try and shove as much crap into each load as I can!!

Re: Laundry?????
I separate FROM my laundry to drop it off at the laundry mat and have it done. Does that count as separating?
When I lived at my Dad's, I did everything together. So bad, I know...

Re: Laundry?????

I usually seperate lights from darks and do the towels seperately.
Me too and the towels go in the same load as our sheets. I typically wash with warm H20, with the exception of Scott's uniform which gets perm press. I like doing laundry I find it calming and I  the smell of fabric softner.

Re: Laundry?????
I usually wind up with 4 to 5 loads at the laundromat.
Dark on cold
Lights on warm/cold
undies on hot
towels on hot
bedding on warm
sometimes I combine the towels and bedding in one of the large machines, especially if I have my Dad's laundry too.
I don't mind doing the laundry, I kind of zone out during the folding. I just don't like it when it rains and I have to carry it. I put DH's uniforms on hangers.

Same here- Only I have to go to the laundromat, so its more like $4 for a large load.

Re: Laundry?????
I separate them-whites, light colors, dark colors, and if necessary, things that bleed. Towels are always separate as well as anything covered in cat hair! I wash everything with cold water except bed sheets. There-my part in helping the environment!

Re: Laundry?????
We separate lights and darks and DH is a stickler for using cold water for everything. The only exception is when we do the occasional load of bleach.
