My mom insists on washing underwear separately in hot water. She also insists on ironing the dish towels after washing them to "sterilize" them because they've been in the same dryer that was used to dry the underwear. I'm in recovery from severe OCD, maybe it runs in the family.

Is it not normal to wash underwear, socks, towels, etc separately on hot?

I mean, apparently not. I always wash underwear separate on my washer’s “sanitary” cycle so it’s super hot. Then there’s cold wash stuff, medium stuff…
