To desperately ask…Do you wash….

[hejsl]

Duvet cover and bottom sheet together or separately?!

@Septemberalready if you have to do it in a few loads then how is that doing it together though?!

Together. I've never worried about it in my life.

Depends on colour.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

They're always good and clean and I've never had any issues with damage to the machine.

Has never happened to me. Put them in separately rather than all bunched together though. My 7kg machine will take a King duvet cover, bottom sheet and two pillow cases.

They all tied up together in the tumble dryer but not the washing machine. What size drum is your machine op?

I've been doing my own washing for over 35 years. I've always put the sheets, pillow cases and duvet covers in together. I've got through a few washing machines in that time, but not because any bedding got wound together.

I thought you possibly meant changing and washing the bottom.sheet one day and then in a few days washing and changing the duvet cover. I.e. so you weren't doing both on the same occasion. So not doing them both together.

I've always washed one set of bedding together with a few other bits. If you fasten the buttons/press studs on the duvet cover it stops the other stuff getting inside it but nothing bad has ever happened either way.

I wash everything altogether once a week.

Yes, I think it's tumble drier that refers to, not washing machine.

i wash each lot of bedding together eg all of ours go in one wash(king size) , ds’s bedding goes in another wash and dd’s bedding goes in another. Washing machine has never been damaged due to this. Who told you that nonsense?

Bedding gets changed and washed together once a week.

I love the fact that this is a desperate question for you though!

No one should make you feel 'desperate' by criticising the way you do the washing OP. So if someone is overlooking you and had this level of influence that's another issue. If the desperation to be perfectly clean is coming from you, that's something else to address, maybe? Meanwhile, if you're worried do them separately. Though together is of course fine too.

I wash them (king-size) together with the pillowcases and a couple of towels of the same colour in our 10kg washing machine. We've never had a problem.

Separately because my sheets are white but my duvet covers are coloured.

I've been washing mine together since time immemorial and never had an issue with them getting tangled up or damaging the machine. The worst sin is leaving the poppers open on the duvet cover so everything ends up inside it scrunched up in the bottom corner.

Yes, was going to say something like this too. Hope you're ok in yourself @hejsl - you really don't need to feel desperate over this.

Strip the bed and bung it all in together.

Did this really need the clickbait title?

@hejsl

Who told you that?? They need a stiff ignoring.

it's just fine, mostly I wash mine together with pillow cases, but not if the sheet is a totally different colour.

just watch it doesn't overload your particular machine (easy test is to make a fist and check that fits in between bedding/clothing & the drum.

dont wind them together when you strip the bed. Put them into the machine separately

This is key!

Good grief, just wash your stuff how you want, it really, really doesn't matter.

I always wash a set together. That's quilt cover, bottom sheet and 4 pillowcases.
It's a case of one set taken off to be washed and new set put on (plus whatever else I can shove in the machine).
Everything usually ends up inside the quilt cover (how?) but it's all clean.

Too much time on your hands girl!

Together because it’s all white and we have a 10kg drum.
I still can’t see how it’s a desperate issue, unless you have anxiety issues around germs/cleanliness? Ive been washing them together for years and it’s not made me ill to date.
