Today was all about mixing whites and colours. Two large loads. Done. Fuck the labels and warnings.

I have never ever separated clothes by colours or anything, just throw it all in.

Nothing bad has ever come from that, even throwing new colourful clothes into a wash with old white clothes. Never had colour leech, nothing has ever broke or whatnot.

But it may also have to do with the fact that I wash everything in cold water, not hot πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

I'm waiting for one normal person to tell me they do things correctly. Just one and I'll be happy.

Thank you. Thank you. Someone gets the importance of not turning everything a shade grey.

All I can offer you is that I don't put StepOne undies in the dryer, they get hung up to dry per the label haha

I did the same thing. For whatever reason my whites stay white so not much to complain about.

Suns gone but it’s sort of warm outside.

I wonder if it’s still worth putting something outside?

I have never separated whites and colours
