Washing clothes question?

i only do two loads per 2 1/2 weeks because i'm a cheap bastard...





...i separate into whites (sometimes w/ grays, i have a bunch of them) and colors (i don't worry about the bleeding and what not, they're pretty 'worn in)





what do i do about the towels? i only have about three towels that i use but i don't feel like doing a third load just for three stupid towels. any advice?Washing clothes question?
Towels with whites/grays unless they are a dark color. Put dark colored towels in with your darks. I prefer not to wash towels with clothes but you can. Be aware that towels have lint and it will get on clothes. Dry the towels seperately to avoid terrible lint trouble with your clothes!Washing clothes question?
just add them to the other loads
I throw my towels in with my clothes, in the appropriate color.
Toss the towels in the load with the bedsheets.
You can hand wash them in large bucket or in the sink with detergent then rinse them out.
I would toss the towels in with the darks, a dryer sheet will take off any ';fuzzballs'; that are on your clothes from the towels. Towels also wash well with jeans.
put towels with the other clothes or wash them with the sheets
when i have just a couple towels to wash i just throw them in with a load of the same color group.
add them based on color to the other loads. as long as your not bleaching your whites they shouldn't bleed. If you are bleaching, then add all of them to your colored load. make sure they have been washed more than once though otherwise they may bleed out a little depending on the color.
Yes, clean the towels with your bedsheets. I don't see why you couldn't wash them with your clothes, you use a towel after the shower and it's pretty much clean anyhow. Good luck
wash all whites alone


all soft colors alone


all dark colors bleed. (red, black, navy blue and dark greens)


never mix (black and navy blacks with other colors because colored fibers get stuck on your dark colored fabrics. Can you imagine your black or navy blue plants with red fibers or white lint.


Your towels wash in the end. They leave a lot of lint that will get stuck on your other clothes. After your finished with your towels wash the basin to remove any lint balls. Always use fabric softener it helps remove any static on your clothes and it makes them soft and smelling like flowers. Never pour it directly on your clothes, it will ruin them. Good luck with your washing
I just throw the towels with my other loads. I haven't noticed a problem. My husband doesn't like doing this but he doesn't seem to notice because I'm doing the laundry. Do you have more towels because an alternative would be to hold them aside and do a separate towel wash when there is enough? I hope you have more than 3 towels. If not then you need more towels.
