how do you do yours?

[mrshyde27]

Well I'm on one this last week or so with household chores..how do you sort your washing? Christ I need to get out more (been housebound with flu)
DH says I'm ridiculous as I use the following categories (he just bungs everything in together, like Widow Twankys wash service). All our stuff is also washed with dettol laundry cleanser (another thing that irritates him no end)..

colours - eg tops, trousers on a 30 wash
pants - 70 wash
socks - 70 wash
bath towels - 70 wash
tea towels and dish cloths - 90 wash

I separate into light colours (40o wash) and dark colours (40o wash). If you use bio detergent, the optimum temp is 30-50o and the enzymes are likely to be denatured at higher temps.

But surely you are already clean when you dry yourself bird ,and go to bed clean ?

Perhaps I should have added I line -dry washing when ever possible . Sunlight is a natural disinfectant
