[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 734651, member: 21572"] Oh, I love it, SOT! :) Do you sort colors and whites and use different settings? [COLOR=#4d4dff]Yuppers. Always have separated colours from whites from darks, and each, depending on what exactly I'm laundering gets it's own special treatment. Towels, panties, and socks, always hot water, with a dash of bleach. Darks, as in jeans, tops, etc, warm water wash. Colours, warm water wash once again. When my kids were babies and in diapers, I laundered their diapers in hot water (always), used both bleach and vinegar, too.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#4d4dff]Rubber pants typically got washed by-hand, then hung out on the clothesline with the diapers to dry.[/COLOR] Do you use a dryer or a clothes line or both? [COLOR=#4d4dff]Both. From Springtime until Fall, I clothesline dry as much as possible, whereas when Autumn arrives, it's much too cold and miserable out to line-dry, so the electric tumble dryer get's used. Even during the clothesline drying season I'll occasionally use the tumble dryer, but not often. Two to three times a week I have laundry on the line, but when my kids were little, it was every single day.[/COLOR] Do you use dryer sheets? [COLOR=#4d4dff]Nope.
