Here's a step-by-step guide to how I sort my family's laundry. Sorting the laundry saves time and money. It keeps your laundry colors more pristine and your whites crisp and perfect. It saves money on detergent and it conserves water becasue ou approach your laundry in a more organized way.
Obviously there's a pile of whites. But I like to do the socks and underwear separate from the white clothes like t-shirts and white sundresses, etc. I clean the whites with Clorox Detergent. I buy it with Laundry Soap Coupons.
I always have a pile of jeans because the jeans are heavy and they'll rip up the other clothes in the wash, if not washed separately. I also have a pile of dark clothing. I use Tide liquid detergent and liquid fabric softener for the darks and the jeans.
I have twin little girls so I have a lot of light colors. I usually even end up with an entire load of pink, especially when they were babies. For their clothes I use Dreft because it's gentle and free of dyes and perfumes.
The I also have a load of sheets and another load of towels. I use a strong, but inexpensive detergent like Purex, for my linens, and I also always add a capful of Clorox Bleach. I finish everything off with a sheet of Bounce in the dryer. That ends up being a lot of detergent, so I end up using Laundry Soap Coupons for everything I use in the laundry room. Try these free coupons for yourself and save.
