you seperate your colors from your whites? Towels from the rest of the wash?

The reason I ask is I was at a friends house the other day and she puts everything in all at once.

I have to have bleach in my whites.

I separate my clothes by whites and colors, and also usually do all towels in one load. Heloise would be proud. laugh

And DO NOT wash jeans with darks...the heavy fabric eventually wears holes into the other clothing...just a tip

I seperate...towels I generally put with whites for bleaching...unless of course they are colored towels, they go by themselves

I absolutely have to seperate my wash. I have lots of iron in my water (from my own well). If I don't seperate, use bleach and an "iron out" additive, all my whites turn yellow.

I separate towels, colors (light and dark, because black jeans get my light colors grey), and whites.

It all depends on how much laundry I have... its just me and kido... so if I keep up on the laundry and only have a couple loads... I throw it all together... but if I don't keep up then I separate colors.... plus I pay to wash... so doing a small load just isn't worth it.
