[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 734845, member: 6705"] LOL here I go... I sort... (1) Whites/light colors (2) DARKS: Purple, red, orange, brown (3) DARKS: Blue, green, black (4) Jeans (5) towels (6) bedding - if the loads are small enough I will combine (2) and (3). Front-load washer... Powdered detergent, about 1/3 recommended liquid fabric softener. Occasionally I will add either bleach or oxyclean if needed. (Sometimes I even use homemade detergent, but not as much as I used to.) Quick wash, warm, medium spin, medium soil. Electric dryer, I use the sensor to determine length of drying time, on medium heat except for towels. Those go on high. No dryer sheets. I do have them, but I use when I store clothes for the season. Hubby helps fold - he does his, hanging stuff, and bedding. I do mine, Rose's, and towels. I usually use Arm & Hammer detergent and Downy softener. I like the scents and the price. We sort laundry on Friday nights and I start the load of whites/light colors then - I wash in the order I listed above. I had an issue shortly after we got the front loader where clothes smelled rank. Found out I was using too much detergent and softener, dropped the amounts and it got better but... changed softener and the odor is GONE. No more Snuggle for us. The washer didn't smell bad, though I do leave the door open after the last load, for at least 2 days. Folding... Shirts are arm to arm, fold arms over, in half. Shorts are side to side, then in half. Pants are side to side, then in thirds. Underwear are not folded (though I used to), and socks are matched and rolled. I am capable of neatly folding a fitted sheet though I rarely bother... And towels are in half lengthwise, then in half width-wise, then in thirds to fit in the cabinet. [/QUOTE]
