to want to redo it or am I too fussy

[advance01]

Dh has put some washing on whilst I was in hospital. All good. However, have just unloaded it to find pants,socks, towels, tea towels and ordinary clothes have been washed together.AIBU to want to rewash the towels and teatowels.

IShallWearMidnight Disposable gloves?

no it doesn't need redoing. But I would educate your DP.

I sounds like the machine was at risk of being overloaded if anything.

@hope loo seats aren't particularly unclean though. The dirtiest part of the house is the floor around the base of the loo

Plus you don't eat off the loo seat.

what is gods name do you do to or in your pants that requires they are segregated.

It is like pant apartheid.

People know that bum germ transplants are a very successful cure for a variety of things right?

Genius IShallWearMidnight

The reason I wash sheets and towels at 95 is because my washing machine is old. It doesn't have a 30 wash, only 40, 60 and 95. I don't believe 60 is enough to kill germs. Going by that rule, why should I boil water to sterilize it if 60 is enough?

Workwear goes on a 60, everything else on a 40.

You are talking complete and utter sense!

I would NEVER wash tea towels with any other item. I wait until there are enough tea towels to justify a wash.

So, yes, I would give them another wash.

LEAVE THE BASTARD!

Omg bum germs on towels .. heavens forbid anyone has oral sex ... or sex of any kind... well without wearing a full body suit of cling film.... just in case the germs take over and we all die of bum germs...

For goodness sakes. Unclench thy buttocks

ARe you totally mad, OP??

I can´t imagine what people are doing with sheets, towels & tea towels such that they need a boil wash to sterilise them!

Wow, you learn something new every day on MN.
I'm another that just picks everything up and sticks it in the wash, knickers and tea towels and dishcloths.
I separate my nice jumpers though.

Oh dear, my standards are obviously awful.....I merrily did reusable nappies in with husbands shirts. Never invite me round your house!!!

Wow, I'm even more slatternly than I thought. It's never occurred to me to wash stuff at more than 40 and certainly not to wash towels and teatowels separately. I just separate white (well, light) stuff and coloured stuff and bung it in the machine.

Bum germs? Dear god! Well, none of us have succumbed to washing-induced bugs so far as far as I'm aware...

what do these bum germs do to you?

do i need to go to the doctors for a full health check just incase i have any?

Why?!
I shared an apple with the horse yesterday, the dog licked my face and I ate my lunch without washing my hands. Washing stuff together is the least of my dirty habits
But I've never ever had food poisoning and I have a stomach of cast iron

I wash everything together.

I haven't killed anyone with bum-germitis or dirty-tea-towelosis yet.

"I just separate white (well, light) stuff and coloured stuff and bung it in the machine."

Same here.

Don´t have enough whites/pants/teatowels to leave them waiting for their own wash.

No! Don't re-wash. I've never killed anyone with bum germs

I just separate anything too dark and prone to colour running (jeans mostly) and bung everything else together in a 30 degree wash.

I stick the kids school tops through on a 95 degree wash now and then when they're getting a bit greyish as it gets them nice and white again

Gran, is that you?

Yes YABU!
This is the kind of thing that kills marriages!! You aren't going to die from not re-washing but your husband might notice and be very angry or feel you are being very petty!!

Crikey, I do enough washing without having to think about seperating even more. There aren't enough hours in the day!

Someone gave me some "advice" the other day on how I should always refasten my duvet covers before putting them in the wash.

I think she has too much time on her hands.
