[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is always a surprise for me to learn that lots of you do individual laundry. How does this work? Multiple mini loads (assuming you separate whites)? Isn’t this wasteful? Maybe it is because I come from another country but we have always done our laundry together: whites, darks, towels and bedsheets, each one in a different load. We rotate who does it, my kids do their share, and then each one is responsible to fold and put away their own clothes. [/quote]

You really don’t get it?

Each person has their own laundry basket. When it’s full, they wash all their clothes together. If it’s a light load they might add their towel.

Is this really that hard to understand? How did you do laundry when you were single? I’m guessing you didn’t do all your roommates laundry because “it’s easier to do them together.” Yet somehow, you want us to believe that getting married suddenly makes it “easier” to do chores for multiple adults than for one. Sure. Whatever you need to tell yourself. [/quote]

NP here, 3rd gen American. YOU don't get it. Laundry should be separated since darks can bleed into whites, lint producers (towels, flannel) onto lint attracting fabrics, jeans and other heavy items can damage lighter fabrics plus take longer to dry, etc.  Your way may be the best for you but not the right way.

I agree. 
Not only you have to seperate loads, but also use different products for different loads. and different settings for washing and drying.  For eg -   I wash all the perm press dark clothes on perm press setting with dark woollite and fabric softner. My white towels get washed with oxyclean and tide-pods.  All the kitchen towels with oxyclean, tide powder and bleach.  Socks and underwear are one load and are not mixed with other loads because they are the germiest clothes.   So it makes sense to bundle everyone's laundry together. [/quote]
