So, after clothes have been washed a few times, does it really matter if you separate lights and darks and colors? What's the science on this?

All mine go in together. I don't put my bicycle shorts in the dryer though.

Heathen, you always wash lights with lights and dark with darks and reds by themselves. Didn’t you pay attention to your mom?

But after a few washings I'd think the bleeding was done. I can't tell a difference if I wash it together or not. My wife insists on separating.

So, after clothes have been washed a few times, does it really matter if you separate lights and darks and colors? What's the science on this? If you can peel them apart, they aren't dirty yet. If you can't, they can't be separated anyway so toss them in a tub of chlorine to soak overnight.

Heat the water on a wood stove, scrub them on a washboard, hang them out to dry on a clothes line. We have it soft.

I throw all my stuff together after they've been washed a few times. However, I wouldn't put anything red in with other stuff. But I don't even own anything red.
My kids laugh that when they look in our master bedroom closet. The wife's side had all the colors of the rainbow. My side is all olive drab, khaki and other earth tones, with the exception of jeans and blue Carhartt FR shirts. My kids say that even when I dress up, I look like I'm ready to go hunting. I sure wish Cabela's still sold their safari shirts, those were the best!

What Paul wears under his panties...
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
