I feel like this sued to be much more of an issue with older fabric types and coloring/dyeing technologies. Not so much anymore.

I have never separated them. my wife thinks it stupid that I don't.

I've been trying to do them all together, but the colors just keep complaining and trying to segregate themselves.

I’ll ask my wife

it's the reds ya gotta worry about.

I separate them. Mainly because I try not to wash really big loads for various reasons, and separating whites/colors helps with that. I know you can wash most things together, but I just don't.

No.
I was clothes in cold water so they don’t run anyway

Wife (no pics) separates whites from colors, especially sheets and towels. Probably something that was just passed on from her mom.

Why would you only wash in cold? That's even more psycho than not separating your loads.

depends on fabric, not color
dri-fit / moisture wicking synthetic materials... (golf polos, underwear, socks, wife (no pigs) lululemon shid, etc.) get one load
cottons get one load
towels / sheets (white) get one load w/ bleach.
if washing towels / sheets, I'll toss in the few white shirts I got in there as well.

Only at the water fountain

Of course. I wash whites and colored clothes separately. I have always done it that way and don't see any reason to change. I normally use bleach on whites which would ruin colored clothing.

I’ve always wanted to open a laundry/dry cleaning business and put signs out front that say “whites only” …

That is about the only time to separate colors, is when you are using bleach.
Otherwise your colors will fade and some will have bleach spots on them.
That is why some people will use hyrdrogen peroxide crystals instead of bleach. For sanitation and less chance of fading or colors running.
Posted on 7/14/23 at 9:18 am to dyslexiateechur
When I bleach my whites yes, otherwise no.
Posted on 7/14/23 at 9:18 am to dyslexiateechur
Yes. I’ll also typically separate reds from everything else.
When I was a teenager my work shirts were red (and cheap) and I made the mistake of washing them with some white and yellow clothes. Bled all over everything.
