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.

Not my department

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

Based

Yes

I'm m kinda in this boat. I understand separation when stuff is new and colors might bleed. 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.

But do you or don't you put your bicycle shorts in the dryer?

What are bicycle shorts?

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.

Once ya get this figured out, ya can start on tryin ta make sandwiches.

You could do like my Brother's ex and just throw them out in the garage and go buy new ones.

Doesn’t matter to me. All my schiat goes in at once. Pants get dried, shirts hang to dry

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.

Now I know what I want for Christmas....

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!

Wabigoon,

You forgot to take me off ignore, Pard.
