NO, I don't buy or own anything white. No shirts, underwear, or towels. I refuse to buy anything white.

No, someone would probably walk into the door and break it.

Washing machine on hand wash. But then again I won't buy anything that needs special care. No handwash, lay flat, and certainly no dry clean.

Not only do I separate whites from colors, but I do laundry by color: reds, pinks, oranges; blues and greens; darks--black, navy, etc. Leave lid open overnight after using washer. Dry most things on lowest setting.

I do not separate colors. I throw everything in together. I do not dry with heat my undergarments....I hang them all to dry. I wash my personal tops and pants separate from the regular laundry. I never leave wet laundry in the washer...but, I will leave clothes that are dry in the dryer overnight. I add my soap in the dispenser and turn on the washer( I have a HE washer).

Separate whites from colors/darks.

Bras, other lingerie, and delicates are washed in mesh laundry bags and then hung up. Never put into dryer.

Do not leave the lid open.

Start machine. Add detergent. Add clothes.

Like @silentgirl I also iron my sheets.

Do not leave wet clothes in washer or dry clothes in dryer over night.

I am just happy to finally have newer appliances, doing laundry like this was very difficult!

I separate whites from colored clothing, hang dry bra, lid closed, put on gentle no more hand washing, soap first then laundry and no I don't leave laundry in washer or dryer over night. Really don't like to iron if I don't have to

luvdoodles · ‎06-19-2010

Yep, that is exactly the way I do my laundry too. Never have had any problems. I won't let my husband near the washing machine. I can only imagine how it would come out.
