Single and live alone but like stuff clean and orderly. Towels, unless covered in grease from machinery or excessively dirty or bloody, go in together. Detergent takes care of it all.

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, my adult children as well as my late father would use a bath towel to dry off for several days, just hang it up after each use. Not me Im a one and done man

I help with the laundry. Way I see it, I was doing my laundry when I met my wife, why not continue?
Towels washed together. As was previously said, detergent & bleach cleans them.

Wife had minor surgery long ago and I had to wash clothes. I put all
dirties in the washer ,t he kids , our clothes and anything else dirty and
washed them all together...... I was quickly fired and told to stick to
outside stuff.... In the Navy .I lived on the ship being single, so we
would use Spic-n-Span to wash our clothes.... Po-mans washing powder.

That is the directions in the manual for our Maytag wringer washer. Do all whites together while the water is hot. You use the same water for the next load, which will have cooled off by then.

The night before our wedding i washed my black shoes and added bleach. They came out red.

I just had to replace a washing machine a couple months ago. $800 and install.

Unless I'm washing JUST my hunting clothes, that's as close as I get to the thing anymore....

I’ve asked my wife that one because she’ll only use a towel a few times before changing it out. Only two of us but we wash a lot of towels and wash cloths. I don’t change mine so frequently. Hang ‘em to dry and they’re good for a while.

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.
You must be really bored!
