one time i dyed an off white shirt of mine slightly green via the black clothes in my load and so i try not to mix them anymore... if its not possible i try to keep the lighter clothes up top in the washer (mine opens top up)
i didnt realize people didnt do this until college. my mom always separated things into warm colors, cool colors, whites, and jeans. she'd also do specific colors if she felt the warm and cool piles were too large
why haven’t I been doing this already for years?! it’s so easy and (so far) mess free. I’ve revived some faded black clothes and made some old white jeans and t shirts look nicer by dying them an off white, saved an old white robe which looked a bit sad and now it’s super vibrant. I’m obsessed.
My washer automatically sets to hot, so that's what I've always done.
I recently started cold washing. Not only is it better for the environment, but it preserves the prints on my shirts better.
Someone should have told me about this earlier :(
instead of doing it under the influence we should start saying it casually on the daily on a random weekday afternoon… this is the way please believe me!
possibly one of the cooler and chic- er things i own… i love the look of it sooo much, it makes the cds in my collection a piece of art in itself, proudly displayed when it’s not spinning !
