Washing knickers and tea towels together

[sirmione16]

Who REALLY separates their undies from towels in the wash am I and everyone I know grubby ?! I feel this is a waste of water, electricity, time and money!

(Video is Lynsey on This Morning telling us we should make sure our bras are clipped together and separate them from towels before we wash) I wanna know how she has the time.

What is a knickers what is a cloths?

Oops excuse the random "bold"

I want a womble life hacks youtube channel and I want it NOW.

Yes M3 I do too!

She should call herself Mrs Winch and we will all do 'Winching'

But I don't want to get dragged into a cult, my children would have me kidnapped and deprogrammed.

I am very weak willed and suggestible.

Alas, I'm too sodding lazy to arse about on YouTube. I can barely get off the sofa.

Ooh, I do have a great tip for Zoflora though!

Don't buy it. The fucking stuff is massively toxic, can cause breathing difficulties in susceptible people, may kill your beloved pets and damage wildlife when it gets into the water table.

Would you like to invest in my amazing new detergent, Pooter?

No idea why that posted twice. As I'm so lazy, I only pressed post once.

Lido the kids locked my account after I bought those magic beans ;-(

I love how these threads generally go hilariously extreme and yet there are always posters who will genuinely answer the (bizarre and ridiculous) original question.

Also these threads have, IMO, fundamentally changed the use and meaning of the word grim.

That is all.

Margy how very true! They are so eager to shout out their Rules, it is like every child with their hand up, waiting to be noticed by teacher!

I do feel (only slightly) guilty for commenting, because I find it amusing. But I am old and bored...

I am old and bored as well SlocombePooter. My daily grind is sitting sucking my teeth over Mumsnet each morning tutting at the young things and their new fangled toys they talk about. Dish washers and tumble dryers, hurumph.

A wash board and when it comes my welcome present of a gusset/vegetable brush from Thighland is all I need to get me through wash day along with my trusty mangle.

Yo -if you can forgive the informality- you are not wrong. Only those of us old enough to have experienced a tit/mangle incident are qualified to comment.

Thigh is on the other thread claiming to be disgusted. I think she means disgusting but what's the odd typo between friends?

I wash most things in together (exceptions being bedding, silk or wool) at either 30 or 40 degrees, and I add some Dettol into the wash at low temperatures. I think it's fine.

Ah yes Tit/Mangle incidents. Too many of them to count and trips to A&E. Now that is what ‘boobing’ really is about.

Hence newfangled washing machines. Elf and Safety innit?

I feel objectified. Why are people constantly talking about my tits. We've lived through Sam Fox and Linda Lusardi and now there's me.

Well apparently red , we are the dumb ones for not realising how poo and fanny bugs can hop from item to item during the laundry process!

But that's ok cos my whole family have the clap!

I think you are all minging. I have a pants wash, socks wash. I'm not even posh.

I have a full time job too.

Why is it grim to wash knickers and tea towels together? They're being washed. Some people need to get a life!

I have an amazing life. I just wash my pants separate.

What if one pair of pants contaminates another? You should wash each pair separately on 90.
