I just wash all my clothes together. I wash all DD's together too. I am very particular about drying clothes on a rack though so the only things I put in the dryer are socks, underwear, bedding and towels. DH does his own laundry and he doesn't separate anything either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-sort-your-laundry-1/page/2#post-2513902 Sun, 03 Apr 2016 04:27:15 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2513902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All our clothes get washed together. We don't own enough whites or lights to do separate loads really. Baby clothes are so tiny that they just get mixed in with everything. If she had more sensitive skin I would separate and wash them in different detergent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-sort-your-laundry-1/page/2#post-2513876 Sat, 02 Apr 2016 22:49:54 +0000 Kemma 2513876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: it's the only way I can stay on top of the washing!

Then I further separate the delicate into light and dark. </p> <p>I wash the kids stuff all together because it needs the extra rinse (super sensitive skin). And then I do towels and sheets separately as well. If I do one category per morning then it works out pretty nicely. But the worst was always the sorter so I love that thing linked above. You can carry the individual bag to the laundry room too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-sort-your-laundry-1#post-2513338 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 20:28:50 +0000 sleepybear 2513338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cloth diapers (I throw in baby clothes, undies/socks, and sometimes towels after the prewash)<br /> Clothes<br /> Bedding and towels</p> <p>I was all our clothes on cold so I never separate by color. The only separating I do for clothes is because DH's uniforms have a ton of Velcro so I try to wash them in a load with just jeans and t-shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-sort-your-laundry-1#post-2513331 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 20:18:38 +0000 mamabolt 2513331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lights, darks, towels, sheets, delicates, and DDs clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-sort-your-laundry-1#post-2513293 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 19:36:32 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2513293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whites<br /> Lights<br /> Brights<br /> Darks<br /> Linens </p>
