In the dark ages when baby boomers were growing up they hadn't figured out how to make clothing dyes that wouldn't bleed in the laundry. Like most things baby boomers learned growing up it has long since become irrelevant but they continue to cling to their outdated knowledge in a desperate attempt to make sense of a world that has left them behind.

I read some hippie/earthlover/prairie mama bullshit about cold water being more energy efficient and stuff so I try to wash most stuff on cold. But towels and really gross laundry like dog blankets and gym clothes need hot water, right?
I use some hippie laundry soap and baking soda when things look dingy or sad.

I don't either OP and never have and it always annoys me when people get all indignant when they see you doing it just because that's how their mom taught them to do it. Even worse are the people who separate whites, light colors and dark colors. Why waste 3 times as much water if you could just do one big load at once if it all comes out the same either way?

we have a super cool HE washer and use almost exclusively the Eco cold water cycle which allows us to not have to separate colors

My wife doesn't either - she used to until she got sick of loving around separating everything. We haven't had anything bleed colors yet. :D

However, she also used to overload the washer and dryer in an effort to get everything done in one shot. She managed to destroy my Green Bay jersey as a result. :mad:

I saw on the news a group of people who collect old washers and they would get together and do their laundry in ancient Westinghouse machines. This guy had at least 20 washers from the 50s in his basement.

My friends dryer caught on fire and the fire dept came and the building got a new one for free, maybe your washer will catch on fire and you'll get lucky

the only time i separate whites and colors is when i'm running my business

i never do anymore, but the only white clothes I have are some socks and ratty t shirts, so i don't really care. definitely want to exercise caution if you have a brand new, never washed color garment. my white shirts are slightly off-white from this, i'm sure, but it's no big deal to me. if i was a suit-wearing man and had fancy white dress shirts, i probably would wash them on their own.

20 MULE TEAM MOTHERFUCKERS
They pull borax (one of the primary ingredients of 20 Mule Team) out of a gigantic rear end mine in Boron, California where both of my parents grew up. Boron used to be a semi-middle class town before pretty much all the minery jobs were eliminated via machinery and automation. They still have a gigantic mine where they continue to pull this poo poo out of the ground but Boron is now a desolate hell hole filled with miserable people where the nearest police station is 50 miles away. I'm reminded of this destruction of Americana every time I see the 20 Mule Team box on the shelf. Boron's right next to Edwards AFB though so you can find lots of crazy plane poo poo and ammunition scattered through the wasteland of the Mojave desert!

I don't separate whites and colors either. Just separate the normals and towels from the delicates and you're GTG
