wait, i thought it was crucial to divide laundry so you don’t mix white stuff with all the other colors? won’t your white socks turn gray if you mix them with black?

You don't want to be throwing brand new blue jeans in with whites. They tend to bleed colour a little bit on first wash.

I haven't had an issue with anything else in, uh, 20 years?

I now split laundry into socks/underwear and everything else, mostly because I'm tired of those items filtering down to the bottom of the basket while I'm too lazy to put my laundry away.

this changes everything! thank you. i'll keep in mind that new stuff can bleed color

Unless something is brand new (which should get its own like-color wash to knock out any loose dyes), wash on cold water and you’ll be fine tbh. If your whites start to get a little dingy then you could do a separate whites bleach wash every once in a while. But honestly I don’t have enough clothes to be separating them, it would result in very small laundry loads which feel like a waste of time and resources (water, energy, etc).

well damn, this is news to me! thanks man, i'll be experimenting with it next time i do laundry.

absolutely! i'm kind of a sucker for having a wide selection of stuff to wear, so my laundry piles tend to end up pretty large and eco-friendly once i finally run out of fresh stuff

Nope, not really

why do I care about socks. I just wear grey socks.

I do have a couple of shite shirts I do wash separately but most of the time I ensure I get clothes that don't matter.
