Laundry is usually my job, because while DW is amazing at 99.9% of things in life, we have agreed for peace and quiet in our marriage, apartment, and lives, that she is not as systematic at laundry as I am. I take this chore willingly and gladly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-726831 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:43:37 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 726831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do (DH does). This is mostly because he has enough clothes to do an entire load of blues/greens, reds/pinks, browns/beiges, greys/blacks, and whites. Its insane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-726756 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:28:28 +0000 DigAPony 726756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have a hamper with three separate compartments for darks, lights, and jeans. I also wash towels separately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-726748 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:26:55 +0000 emg86 726748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! I usually throw our towels in with our whites though cause we don't have a lot of whites, jeans/dark, colors and most recently...baby girl stuff that I'm prepping :-) We have baskets for each in our closet so I don't actually have to sort through anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-726728 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:24:00 +0000 Sweet T 726728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. I usually have colors, towels, baby clothes, whites, and linens. We don't have a lot of whites though. It either takes forever to build up enough white laundry for a full load or they end up getting thrown in with the colored clothes. DH washes his work uniforms by themselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-726718 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:22:17 +0000 Running Elley 726718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I just don't see the point lol. DH does though and he gets frustrated when I don't. If he sorts them for me I don't mind doing the separate loads- I just don't take the time to sort myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-726706 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:20:41 +0000 MrsH 726706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I usually do. Whites, darks cold wash, colors warm wash, linens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-726539 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:48:35 +0000 Turd Ferguson 726539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, not really. Towels are their own load, sheets are their own load, floor rugs/carpets are one, but otherwise...not so much. We really don't have any legit "whites," DH has some work t-shirts/beaters and I have a few cheap Forever 21 camis...but that's about it. I wash most clothes on cold, so...meh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-726413 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:10:52 +0000 mrskc 726413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Whites, colors, towels, sheets, baby clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-726397 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:07:06 +0000 Mrs. Chalk 726397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Towels, sheets, and diapers all get their own individual loads. But otherwise, I'm not very particular about sorting. I just throw it in and put it on warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-726353 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 16:47:31 +0000 StbHisMrs 726353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes</p> <p>- Jeans and I throw towels in if it's a smaller load<br /> - Darks<br /> - Lights<br /> - Whites - all whites and I throw in a whitening powder</p> <p>Everything is washed in cold, and all of LO's clothes are hung up to dry, all of my work clothes and nicer clothes. Everything else goes in the dryer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-726014 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:17:34 +0000 tysonja 726014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope!!! no sorting here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-726012 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:17:02 +0000 sera_87 726012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only between towels, bedding &amp; clothes. Oh and DH's hockey stuff gets washed separately, because dey narsty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-725983 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:11:04 +0000 Modern Daisy 725983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used to until all of my clothes were coming out fuzzy then I realized that you have to separate the towels!! We're now good about separating whites unless it is a super small load. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-725919 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:59:37 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 725919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I do darks (including jeans), lights, reds, whites, and towels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-725915 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:58:14 +0000 Alivoo01 725915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! We have very little whites so I just toss them in with the colors (only whites I can think of are hubby's wife beaters and socks). I wash everything together except for floor mats and linens. Those are washed separately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-725853 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:44:20 +0000 LindsayInNY 725853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! Generally sorted into whites, darks, lights, reds and towels. Depending on the sizes of the loads, some reds can break down into darks (purples, burgundy) and lights (pink, khaki). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-725852 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:44:15 +0000 sorrycharlie 725852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have different baskets for DH, me, baby, towels! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-725842 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:41:58 +0000 Charm54 725842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do<br /> - delicates (underwear and my lululemon)<br /> -darks<br /> -whites (depending on the whites they might get thrown with the darks!)<br /> -towels<br /> -sheets </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-725833 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:40:04 +0000 Honeybee 725833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does all of our laundry and I have no idea if he sorts things or not; I'd rather be blissfully ignorant. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-725827 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:39:04 +0000 MrsBrewer 725827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: my husband does this too!! I think it's cute! But i'm like "honey, do you really think I want to do 15 loads of laundry?!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-725826 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:38:57 +0000 Springtime 725826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I sort whites, darks, jeans, towels, LO's clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-725824 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:38:23 +0000 MrsBrewer 725824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! I do about 5 loads I think<br /> a cold dark hang load<br /> hot white load w/ dry<br /> hot linens<br /> dark load to wash and dry<br /> towel load! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-725821 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:38:12 +0000 runsyellowlites 725821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually will sort towels to wash separate (with the 4 of us we seem to always have a load of towels), but otherwise jeans go with dark colors &amp; I just wash things together! DH sorts clothes to the point that he even separates blues &amp; reds rather than just putting them together as coloreds. I can't function under such organization! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-725813 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:36:51 +0000 .twist. 725813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm actually pretty particular about all things laundry. It's my favourite chore and I like it done a certain way (including the folding!). My husband is allowed to do his work clothes and that's pretty much it. hahaha</p> <p>ETA: duh, I forgot to answer the question. Yes, I sort my laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sort-laundry#post-725810 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:35:40 +0000 Bao 725810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really bad at this. I will try and make sure all jeans are with darker clothes, but other than that I just throw stuff in. </p> <p>Are you good about sorting laundry? </p>
