I was going to say I don’t make my wash too complicated, but maybe I do.
Whites in one pile to keep them white and because my wife’s stuff needs to get bleached now and then.
Her scrubs are black and go in a separate pile to keep them black and so they’re in a separate pile so I don’t need to sort them after they’re washed.
She keeps buying rayon fast fashion clothes that need to get hung to dry, so I started separating them and now I was all our undies with those on the delicate cycle, since rayon loses strength when wet, and then I’ll hang the no dryer items and the bras and toss the undies in the dryer.
And then the rest gets divided between my misc colors and hers, since I konmari fold my stuff and she just leaves her crap in a heap, so again, I don’t have to resort after stuff is clean and I can fold all my stuff between loads.
I worked at a dry cleaner for a while when I was down on my luck, so between that and my general nerdiness, I probably take it more seriously than normal, plus I don’t like clothes shopping and just try to make my stuff last forever.
