DH has always used handkerchiefs and I've always hated them - nasty, unhygienic wrinkled things .
He always has one in his pocket and at bedtime he transfers it to under his pillow (boak...)
He's a sniffling sort of person - always blowing his nose loudly (usually when I'm trying to talk to him, which also annoys me!)
I've tried to convince him to use tissues, but he won't.
He used to stick them in the laundry basket with the whites until one day, when I was ironing a nice linen white blouse of mine I noticed that there were bits of sticky green snot on it, which had obviously been transferred in the wash (more boak...)
Since then I've told him that he has to keep them separate and wash them himself at 60c/90c and they are not going in the family wash since lots of the rest of the washing gets done at 30c/40c as it's not really dirty, just used.
I've also said I'm not touching them - taking them out of pockets, or retrieving them from under the pillow!
I wouldn't expect him to collect/handle my used tissues, so I'm not sure why this is any different?
Now he's started putting them in with a coloured wash of his own at weekends, but is always making snide remarks about how 'petty' I am being.
AIBU?

AIBU to refuse to wash DH's nasty stinky handkerchiefs?
