Yeah I had a great city wok logo shirt that I loved but it was literally the only red thing I owned and I didn’t feel like giving it it’s own wash so it got stored away.
Only half way, they didn’t seem to want to deliver babies like in the very olden times, but making the babies definately happened in character from time to time
I wash on cold (or warm) and stopped separating laundry by colour a while ago and now separate it by purpose. Like a load of my clothes, a load of my daughter’s clothes (that she loads and unloads herself, not raising someone that gets confused when she needs to clean her clothes when she moves out), towels get their own load (with added bleach, colourful ones just fade over time), same with bedsheets (no bleach here though).
If I remember, I’ll do new colourful clothes separately on their first wash with the assumption that most of the dye that is going to come out will come out during the first wash.
I always sort mine by white, black, everything else. The whites can be bleached a bit to give 'em pop. The blacks don’t get fuzzies from the colors. After washing I pull the stuff that shouldn’t be dried, like hats, bras and shoes, and pull the stuff that’s spun down to barely damp, hang that stuff.
You COULD make them yourself too, but that would require years of training and expensive special equipment and making good ones would STILL be difficult and time consuming, so prolly a better idea to just buy or steal some for now 🤷🏻
I’ve literally never had an issue not separating laundry. Years of mixed loads never any colours bled, I thought the whole thing was a myth.
Last week I washed a red dress of my wife’s with whites, and all my shirts came out pink like a sitcom. It’s real people.
Just don’t buy red clothes

Most of your white clothes are more like grey off white now if you’d care about that. I dont.
You can use vinegar to set dyes.
Red dye is particularly hard to set unless the Dyer knows and cares to do it
The dumb shit you learn when you date someone who does historically accurate recreation events…
Were there also historically accurate procreation events?

It really is just very red things and white things you can’t mix.
They make these sheets you throw in with your mixed color loads, I think called Color Catchers or something?

Shoes??
Too much wear and tear. They weren’t meant to be dried in a tumbler.
I guess my question is what are they doing in the wash to begin with. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before
They’re these things you wear on your lower extremities for protection, comfort, warmth or fashion.
They even provide more than one of those benefits much of the time!
But that’s not important right now…
Holy shit that sounds awesome. Can I buy them anywhere or do I have to make these things myself?
You can buy them at many, but not all, places.

I used to do that too until I had to use shirts to work. White shirts lose that sheen and bright white so quickly if you mix them.
same! i washed some red pants that i bought at an international clothes market and now i have a bunch of pink clothes!! i consider it an upgrade
Happened to me once, too.
