Do You Wash Bath And Dish Towels Together?

[Big7]

This has been a problem for me in several relationships.

When that drum fills with hot water and bleach, it kills EVERYTHING.

It all comes out clean. I put bath cloths, towels, dish rags and all cotton and teri cloth items TOGETHER- wash and dry them together..

Except for shop rags because they might have a blob of grease on them that I missed. THAT makes sense to was them separate. It does not make sense to wash the rest separate.

Please vote and comment. I either need to be proven wrong or prove some other folks wrong, once and for all.

I'm sorry but I can't participate. You don't have a "my wife won't let me touch her washing machine" option.

Ask her if she washes her's all together or separate.

 

[Toliver]

Thanks buddy. I asked. She may now be the next X.

I'm just kidding. Actually this has solidified that I will never do laundry in this house as long as she lives in it. She did not like my answer.


She separates them. According to her, they "wash differently".

Whether you like him or not, Bill Cosby had the perfect answer on dealing with ANY household chores your wife "ask" you to do : "Screw it up bad enough the first time and she'll never "ask" you to do it again."

Mower = man machine she don’t touch
Washer= women machine I don’t touch
Dish washer= shared machine

Mrs Ruger has intervened a few times I tried to “help.” I’m obviously ignorant in the ways of laundry. She sorts them extensively.

I put about a cup of Dawn dish liquid in the clothes washer one time.

Never had to concern myself with the laundry again.

When I try to help I fold things wrong. Oh well. I tried.

I don't want bleach anywhere near any of my wash.

You, too? I guess I was never issued the proper way to fold towels manual because I sure didn't know there was a right and wrong way to fold a towel.

My wife separates items to be washed by color, dark and light. I think she washes dish and bath towels together.

I have a question,,, If you are clean when you get out of the shower how does your towel get dirty? Ponder on that one

Same with wife's helping with yard work. Don't ask me how I know.
I wash all towels together in HOT water. Never even thought of washing them separate. Why would you

My skid marks don’t go in with the towels. Hope that helps

Years ago my wife was too sick to leave the couch for a couple of days.

Well, I was out of underwear so I started up laundry for the week. I’m not too much of an imbecile to at least make dirty laundry clean without colors bleeding or bleaching everything white so phase one was a total success.

I fold laundry on the ironing board in front of the TV as she was lying there also watching.

She was glancing my way but was probably too sick to care about what was going on.

I folded it all and did pretty good as far as folding goes. Minimized wrinkles and made it so it would store nice in dresser drawers but it was definitely different from here style.

I got everything cleaned up and put away and she said, “Thank you for doing the wash.”



Now I do it about as often as she does.

Laundry room filled with suds

I stopped doing laundry as soon as the wife decided she didn't like pink clothes.
