[quote=Anonymous]Laundry that's stained gets tied in a knot before it goes in the hamper. When all the laundry gets sorted, the knotted stuff goes into a pile. Each week, I either do dark or light stained clothes (you do need to separate by color for this). Goes in a sink with the hottest possible tap water and a half a scoop of OxyClean powder. Let soak 4-10 hours (based on my own convenience/schedule). Then it goes right into the regular wash with regular detergent (we just use whatever is cheapest). This works on the vast majority of stuff. If it comes out stained after that, it goes in the garbage.

ONLY EXCEPTION: Blood. It's rare, but if you've got something stained with blood, it needs the same process but with COLD water (never use hot water with blood). So those get pulled out separately, but that's super rare - never happens to my husband, rarely to my kids (once ever? but none get their periods yet, they're still little) so it's usually my stuff from periods, even that is pretty rare, and honestly, I only bother if it's something I really like.
