I sort whites, lights, darks, jeans, and towels. All clothes need to be stain treated then turned inside out and washed on cold. I hang all of lo's clothes, some of mine and jeans, everything else goes in the dryer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645718 Mon, 19 May 2014 22:16:59 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1645718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sparkler: Just for convenience sake. We have the kids clothes in a separate hamper, and when I fold clothes it's easier to just fold all the kids clothes rather than have their clothes mixed in with our adult clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645510 Mon, 19 May 2014 20:04:12 +0000 blackbird 1645510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Mine gets washed on cold and the vast majority does not go in the dryer. I do mine, DH does his...the rest is no biggie. Nothing pisses me off more than my clothes shrinking and not fitting anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645479 Mon, 19 May 2014 19:43:41 +0000 Sparkler 1645479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Why do you wash the kids clothes seperate? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645239 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:49:21 +0000 spaniellove 1645239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am genuinely curious - what is this about folding inside out? Does this mean you actually fold dry clothing inside out so that when you go to put it on you have to flip it back? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645192 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:16:22 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1645192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I separate colors/whites/towels/bedsheets... and I don't like anything folded inside out! Kids clothes and our clothes are washed separately too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645175 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:04:20 +0000 Dandelion 1645175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It's not even all that organized, but I have MY way of doing it and I hate when people try to help. Same with my dishes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645166 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:00:19 +0000 shinymama 1645166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably too particular. Sheets, towels and clothes are all washed separately, and everyone's clothes is washed separately too {DH, mine, DS, etc.}. My clothes is split into colors: reds, dark colors, and lighter colors. I wash my oldest's clothes by sorting it into tops and bottoms {shirts/sweatshirts vs. pants/shorts/undies/socks) because I find it's easier for me to fold and put away stacks of the same thing. Water temperature can vary, but I always dry on low. Everything has to be folded/hung as soon as the dryer is done. I can't imagine folding clothes knowing that it's inside out. :shocked: {See...too particular.} </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645163 Mon, 19 May 2014 15:59:42 +0000 Sunshine1810 1645163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am particular about mine, DH does not care about his. Most of my clothes need to hang dry with the exception of socks, underwear, pjs, and workout clothes. I am particular about the way things are folded as well. I think that part comes from years of working at a clothing store. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645085 Mon, 19 May 2014 15:18:39 +0000 winniebee 1645085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it means I don't have to fold laundry nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645077 Mon, 19 May 2014 15:14:58 +0000 yerpie110 1645077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm particular about how it's folded and put away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645061 Mon, 19 May 2014 15:06:24 +0000 sunny 1645061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes absolutely. DH doesn't dare touch mine or LO's laundry. He does his own though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645044 Mon, 19 May 2014 14:58:51 +0000 .twist. 1645044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um yes. Probably too particular. Washing &amp; Folding. Both important. </p> <p>Folding especially, partially because I enjoy doing it. I've been known to refold laundry if not folded properly. Which is why no one usually helps me. I've heard "laundry nazi" a few times... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645040 Mon, 19 May 2014 14:57:07 +0000 PurplePumps 1645040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We separate into whites, pjs/towels/sheets, and "outside" clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645025 Mon, 19 May 2014 14:48:24 +0000 spaniellove 1645025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...we end up doing a lot of small loads because we each do our own laundry, separate by type, color, etc. And I turn a lot of things inside out to wash and then hang dry. Some things like towels I use vinegar to rinse and then tennis balls in the dryer, and I think we might have at least 3-4 different detergents. and tons of different stain removers. </p> <p>Wait, why would things get folded/put away inside out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645020 Mon, 19 May 2014 14:46:43 +0000 Sammyfab 1645020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meh. As long as it gets cleaned. I am particular about how things are folded and I always put my own laundry away...my husband wouldn't even dare try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1645015 Mon, 19 May 2014 14:43:22 +0000 bushelandapeck 1645015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wash on cold, dry on delicate. No separating here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1644998 Mon, 19 May 2014 14:31:54 +0000 lamariniere 1644998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do not let my husband do laundry because I am very particular about what goes in the dryer, what is line dried and how things are folded. He always does it wrong, so I have told him to just stop doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1644953 Mon, 19 May 2014 14:14:24 +0000 wonderstruck 1644953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I first got our new washer and dryer I was particular because it's all fancy and has tons of different settings. Now I'm lazy - I still do basic sorting where the baby stuff, towels, and sheets don't share loads. But t-shirts and jeans and stuff? Meh, throw it all in together.</p> <p>My mom is insane about laundry, she helped me with ours when I was recovering from my c-section, and watching her do it drove me nuts because she made it take so much longer than necessary! Mega sorting, and she likes to take things out of the dryer just before they're completely dry and have them still a bit damp. Which is annoying because I don't have a line to hang damp stuff on like she does. And instead of just using the damp=dry setting on my dryer, because she's not used to it, she would just do it her way...which requires checking on the clothes every 10 minutes or so to see how dry they are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1644922 Mon, 19 May 2014 14:05:52 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1644922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just particular about what gets put in the dryer. We drop our "dryer" clothes off at the laundromat and have them do it. Then we just do the non-dryer stuff and hang it up at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1644900 Mon, 19 May 2014 13:58:21 +0000 snowjewelz 1644900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't separate and put everything in the dryer unless I know I can't. The only thing is I like to put my lace underwear in a bag so they don't get snagged by other clothes, and nothing stays inside out either! The only things I don't mix towels/sheets with clothes tho. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1644888 Mon, 19 May 2014 13:53:24 +0000 katsupgirl 1644888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm soooo particular. I've been known to separate by color. I'm a little more casual with my stuff now but I do a load of pinks and reds, whites, darks, blankets, towels, bibs(the Velcro messes up her clothes if I don't separate them out). Hot water ( just covering the bottom)to dissolve the soap then cold water to wash. Rinse then rinse again and once more for baby. Everything dried on low. </p> <p>I'm obsessed with laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1644827 Mon, 19 May 2014 13:30:46 +0000 Jenn23 1644827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Separating? What is separating? :) I don't care at all! I'm just happy to get all the laundry done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1644808 Mon, 19 May 2014 13:25:16 +0000 NovBaby1112 1644808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, i could care less as long as they are clean. i just throw everything together in the wash, and dry pretty much everything. drives my DH crazy when I shrink stuff. i am lazy when it comes to laundry </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1644793 Mon, 19 May 2014 13:19:18 +0000 looch 1644793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, yes, I am particular. I do lights, darks, whites, dress shirts, towels/sheets all in separate loads. Certain items never go in the dryer, certain things are line dry and some are dry clean only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1644789 Mon, 19 May 2014 13:17:18 +0000 LBee 1644789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew-up in a family that separated everything. 5+ years into my relationship with my husband (who goes by the mantra: Throw it all together and see what happens), I couldn't care less. Although this has recently resulted in a pair of white underwear turning blue, but whatever. They are clean and that's all that matters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1644782 Mon, 19 May 2014 13:15:27 +0000 regberadaisy 1644782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, colors separate from whites. And delicate in a separate load. Delicate dried on medium heat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1644776 Mon, 19 May 2014 13:13:16 +0000 babycanuck 1644776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes<br /> darks/lights split<br /> hand washables on a different cycle<br /> cold water only<br /> hang dry everything for me but socks/undies<br /> dryer use for DH's clothes because he doesn't care<br /> no ironing - if it needs to be ironed it goes to the dry cleaner</p> <p>DH needs his stuff folded like it's in a store - what a pain<br /> Me - I hang everything and don't care if it's inside out or not </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1644774 Mon, 19 May 2014 13:12:45 +0000 Greentea 1644774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't think so but now that you mention it I like things not to be inside out when put away. That's about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-particular-about-the-way-your-laundry-is-done#post-1644769 Mon, 19 May 2014 13:10:54 +0000 Bao 1644769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not particular about separating colors, or our clothes from the girls clothes but when it comes to folding nothing can be folded inside out. Drives me crazy!</p> <p>Are you particular about the way your laundry is washed, dried, or folded/put away? </p>
