ArtfullGifWarrior
Just use a colour catcher sheet simples
thedeepestshadeofmushroomblue
I just separate into zippers and no zippers.
IHaveABridgeToSell
Try buying $5 t-shirts from aliexpress and they will color your whole fucking washroom, no matter which garment cream you use.
zenprankster
its not the detergent LOL. its hot water. Wash your darks and whites together in hot water and youll be sorry. Cold all day
Justtoberight
Hot water to kill germs / bacteria. Recommended for towels, sheets, socks, underwear, ....

Dress Dressing

He he heh
steveo80
That's what Bill gave Monica.

I still do three runs. Whites (bleach), colors, and darks. Probably could cut that down to bleach/non-bleach if the loads were smaller.
NotTinyPancakes
I wash all my clothes together with everything cause I just don't care for the consequences
Justtoberight
Do you like bacteria growing in your washing machine? cause that's how you get bacteria in your washing machine
JReene
Dressing.
tibris
all my black cloths were ruined because some fuck threw a white gym sock into the load
SomeCrazyNerd
Oh wow, so you actually don't need to separate? That's reasurring
Justtoberight
You should, but according to temperature. Hot water kills germs / bacteria
OprahsFatAss
The first time you wash an item of clothing it's a good idea to only wash with clothes of the same color. After that you're OK.
vintagebroad
74 here with 60 years experience. Never trust red anything
unicornwithrainbowhair
Only 60 years? You weren’t doing laundry as a baby? Maybe my parents were just mean to me after all
vintagebroad
My mother had a boarding home. It was my job to clean the linens. Wringer washer I might point out. Starting helping at 11
LookingCaliforniaFeelingMinnesota
I second this. Although my now pink pillows look pretty good with the purple bedding.
afmgreentea
I split up undergarments because they get hot and bleach to kill germs. Otherwise it's split up by weight so I don't break the washer.
creamofsumyunguy
Garment grease
k98aj01
There are clothes, and then there are towels and sheets. This is how I divide laundry.
LasciviousHedgehog
Ps wash woolens separately, spin at a lower speed than other things and drape horizontally to dry.
caledric
fuck that I'm draping diagonally.
Justtoberight
Woolens are hand-wash only, I learned?
WhoSaidYouCouldEatTheLastCookie
Nope, I still get colour running incidents whenever my husband does the laundry
WhoSaidYouCouldEatTheLastCookie
He put my silk blouse in the tumble dryer ffs
drcurlyfat
It wasn’t an accident. I bet you didn’t ask him to do it again, did you?
direchinchilla360
Does that make soap power dry rub or a stock cube?
tisroero
Almost spit out my candy bar laughing.
Litakino1
Thanks for reminding me that I needed to fold my laundry!
Babiesgotback
Not worried about all my black clothes turning each other black
andachairaswell
Preach!
ASongOfPissAndFarts
Thats so racist. The term is "fabrics".
kelpsie
Ugh, but what if my grays leech into my greys?
MountainYankee
I see a black door and I want to paint it-........ Shit. Who fucked up my music cards!?

SEPARATE BUT EQUAL
NotoriousBadassWhoLovesMusicals
I used to have only black clothes. Then I go two siberian cats. Now I don’t have any black clothes anymore
mahakalabhairava
black clothes, black cat, life was easy. moved in with a white dog and I just stopped caring.
Sasurau
MerkinInMyGrannyPanties
Keep in mind that once they turn black....there’s no turning back.
PressMyButtonsBaby
Thesteveadin
more like u/BabiesGothBlack?
frankenmullet22
But if you wash warm or hot they will fade
Babiesgotback
True, I have my washer set to tap temp, usually on the colder side
GotBannedForPostingAYoutubeLink
I always wash at 65C, and its taken over 5 years on most of my black t-shirts to start to fade.
TheDudeSkywalker
That gives them a vintage look
Hurro
I just wash everything in cold.
cyno01
Lot cheaper too.
trekkiedane
Just use non bleach detergent!
ScarecrowSticks
Sauce*
trekkiedane
Right: dressing!
fbdrtallz
What kind of restaurant do you work at?
Justtoberight
It's not only about the colours, but also about the temperature. Towels, underwear, sheets etc. need to be washed hotter than Tshirts
ActuallyAPirate
I do so much damn laundry, if i sorted it i would lose my mind
martineb72
The real trick. Don't own anything white.
jm151

grantavius
I believe calling them "colored clothes" is no longer PC.
SomeCrazyNerd
Clothes of colour
SolaceHaestas
Slaves
NotTinyPancakes
Yeah well they still keep the whites separate so

StopStealingMyBlankets
Oh yeah put your delicates and bras in with your Jean's and towels and see how long they last.
StopStealingMyBlankets
Half of womens shirts are made out of fabric about as strong as tissue paper. That shit gets holes immediately.
NotTinyPancakes
No pockets and crappy insta rip fabric, it's like they want us to go nude.
TheBlueMuppet
I mean...you can wear our hoodies.
SolaceHaestas
Would rather be nude thanks
TheBlueMuppet
Jokes on you, my hoodie is both enormous and fluffy inside.
tibris
speaking as a man, I always wash my bras seperately
Lachwen
I do this. My oldest bra is over eight years old. They do fine.
StopStealingMyBlankets
How often do you wash it?
Lachwen
My husband and I do all our laundry in one big load once a week.
Brandy321
after the first washing or two, the color sprinkles stay on the clothes donuts they were sprinkled on
reversecowgirlisjustdoggyfromadifferentperspective
Had to read this a few times over to make sense of it, but +1 when I finally understood
Brandy321
i try and make puns of most things. most times it's an epic fail on my part.
BurntMomWarfare
My friend needs an explaination.
azazyel
Just wash in cold, problem solved
Ringshadow
Yep. I separate laundry by dryer temperature and that's it.
FourLettersInLength
Yeah all my clothes are delicates, but when i washed my towels i threw in my shop towels and they turned my white rags pink
jellybellymelly
JtheRedBarron
Just due to ignorance, is there any downside to washing things in cold water? Again, just asking for ignorance, I tend to wash with cold.
Justtoberight
Hot water = hygiene (at least 60°C to kill bacteria/kills germs). Use on towels, socks, sheets, underwear...
azazyel
Maybe not having the whites be so white?
tamawaster
OMG Azazyel, the whites just can't help themselves!
EpilatorAlligatorBothReduceGrowth
If you have small children 60 degrees c is default to kill germs and get stains out, though with lightly used clothes 40’s ok.
HelloToe
In theory, hot water can clean better, but in practice, modern detergents are fine in cold water unless your clothes are really filthy.
HelloToe

JtheRedBarron
Thanks for the link, I scoped it out! Good stuff, need to be checking into Costco a bit more on their cheap(ish) detergent that works well!
HelloToe
Sure! If you haven't read them before, The Wirecutter is good for reviews of household stuff. Like Consumer Reports, but w/o subscription.
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
Hot water cleans better. But usually one should be ok with like 40 degrees celsius. Unless u got sth really dirty.
Fait
The Sith have very dirt robes.
DreamOnFire
Rodvitner
Stuff like underwear should be washed at 70* celsius at least now and again. Just like washing dishes, you need heat to kill evil
JtheRedBarron
Or some good dad jokes, amiright??? Nice, thank you
VMargaret
Washing with cold is cheaper. That’s the bottom line.
myhousesmellsliketuna
If you use liquid detergent then cleaning in cold water is no different. Pods don’t tend to dissolve as well (from my experience) and the
myhousesmellsliketuna
pod part itself gets all stuck into the clothes and creates crispy spots and disasters. But hot does lift stains better
TheRealPumpkinQueen
The hot water laundry to kill germs thing is a myth guys. Same as hot water for handwashing.
lordfancypantz
No, why would you say it's a myth?
TheRealPumpkinQueen
Because boiling water is the only temp to kill germs, and you have to boil for several minutes. And a google search will corroborate that
TheRealPumpkinQueen
Hot water is to loosen soil tho.
axungiahominis
to kill germs, 60°C is recommended. usually only necessary when washing underwear/towels or when you've been very sick.
somnif
Yeah but the dryer takes care of that
HogwartsAlumnus
Can someone make a post about how to wash clothes for the people who never learned? Asking for a friend who never learned...
DaveBN
Hot water is better at lifting stains. That’s why I wash my whites using hot.
LaughingInTheFaceOfDanger
It's better at setting them too.
POTUSBrown
For some stains it's not, hot water will set in stains.
titaniumsnail
Like blood for example. Cold water is best for that. Hot water is best for fat/oil based stains.
DaveBN
Apparently saliva is good for blood, assuming the blood is your own.
turdturdleton
Whites become dingy over time
fireflowerfire
Yeah I did this shit in college when I was a fucking teenager and all my whites turned gray. Gotta segregate the whites and coloreds.
goatamon
Man, I'm only 29 and I'm already kind of dingy.
ObsLamprey
Can confirm. 31 and my knees are shot, right shoulder is acting up, my nose is always stuffy and I can't stay up past midnight anymore.
Resz7
Lachwen
Oh no, my... *checks all clothing* ...exactly two bras will become dingy.
EnTaroSheelal
The only segregation I support: Laundry. Gotta keep the white dress shirts spotless, starched, and ironed. All others are free-range.
DontcallmeLen
I know- it’s because we goto soul sucking jobs to keep our loveless marriage alive and our terrible offspring in college.
3Davideo
Yeah, I guess I'm kinda dingy. ... wait you meant the clothes.
makeiteasykeepitsleazy
White Bright helps. Smells gross but helps.
myeyesthegogglesdonothing
So... like... socks? Got it. Don't care.
VInTheSkyWithElephants
I don’t own anything that is *only* white except 3 pairs of socks..
captainclutch
Bleach them suckers
Flunkedy
And thin out the fibres?
SexualPeanut
I dont think bleach will help white people get whiter.
ShitsNGiggelz
Works with anuses.
RobinHorn
Which would involve washing them separately...
captainclutch
Don’t have to bleach them every time. Do run a quick rinse cycle afterwards though, lest you end up with some leftover bleach in the machine
bhaab70
I do a load f whites with bleach about every three to four months. All mixed otherwise. My wife hasn’t noticed a difference overall :)
tachometer74
This right here is the method!
rainyrivers
I wash everything on cold with tide, Clorox 2, and those Downy beads. Spot treat the armpits of my husband's white tees cus deodorant stains
Smelsea
I'm 32 and you just taught me how to use things other than detergent. I'm supposed to be a grown woman.
PomsNotBombs
I make him scrub them himself T_T
bluddyguy
Damn. That's wonderful.
VInTheSkyWithElephants
I love those downy beads
rainyrivers
I've just started using the "romantic" scent. Milder than the rest of them but really nice!
SophieClockwise
So it turns out this comment was just a Tide ad.
rainyrivers
Lol, I'd love a check! Honestly I like the way it cleans
