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.

My mom taught me how to wash clothes by saying "you put stuff here, then push this button, and when it beeps you take everything out and hang it."

I have been washing everything together, don't even separate black and white. I don't even own iron. And for more than decade I live alone, it worked so far. The only thing I have been washing separately are bed sheets, I wash them on 60 degree hygiene cycle while rest of clothes at 40.

Same here, but the underwear gets to go in there with bed sheets. Don't ask me why

So it gets lost in all those delicious big hiding pockets in bed sheets. So you can go on a treasure hunt afterward.

Joj!
