Do you separate lights and darks in the laundry?

I do it, it’s a hassle. Just wondering if I’m wasting my time. I already use Woolite and cold water.

Yes. 6
No, not necessary. 13
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Modern clothing doesn't really face that issue anymore; unless you're using bleach of course.

    There are a few brands that will recommend that you separate your laundry still and those will show it on the tags of their clothing. Generally speaking, this is a thing of the past. I've only had it ruin *one* shirt in my 13 years of doing laundry and it was a yellow dress shirt.

    Never done it. Unless I’m washing my pillows Bc I throw bleach in there.

    Do you separate lights and darks in society?

    You're a segregationist that's what you are.

    I don't, and I've never had any issues. Although, your mileage may vary. Just remember to use color catchers.

      What are these mysterious things called colour catchers and where can I get one??

        They're these little sheets that are sold in boxes. You throw them with your laundry a few times before throwing them away. The name says what they do. Where I'm from, they're sold in nearly every grocery store.

    I don't do this. Rarely had any issues.

    I don't often do laundry, but if I do, no separation, and nothing bad has happened yet.

    No, I segregate by fungus and bacteria. Socks get their own buckets, as do shit/piss soaked underwear.

      Tell me that's a fetish thing, otherwise it would be very concerning.

        I believe the word you're looking for is arousing, not concerning

      Sorry 1WeirdGuy - even if your wife usually does that chore, I think you'd be wise to do it at least once before she's suddenly not there one day and you need to do it yourself (because she's out-of-state or abroad visiting family for a week or so, having hospital treatment and needs her pyjamas washing, on holiday with her girlfriends, etc. - or if you happen to be away and need to do your laundry yourself, at a public launderette or at a friend's house, and want to avoid embarrassment).

        He'll just wear whatever is not standing or walking on it's own, or whatever smells less dirty.

        His underwear is good for two weeks. After the first week he turns it inside out for the second week. 😆 Lol

        Sorry WeirdGuy, I like you, but you left that door wide open!
