Question: Umm... let's see, Darks, dirty darks (my husband is a carpenter), lights (he doesn't wear pastels), whites (all the socks and white T's), rags (I have a cleaning service), sheets and comforter, and rugs. Then once a month or so the doggie blankets. Oh yeah, and the "ahem" unmentionables which are hand washed....

darks and lights
Jeans wash cold water
Colors was cold water
Whites wash hot water to get the ick out
towels wash hot
sheets wash warm
blankets wash warm
rugs wash hot
delicates wash delicate cycle
and then there is hand wash stuff
If it's wash and wear...everything goes in...provided certain colors don't 'bleed'...then I do those by themselves.
If I'm bored to the point of counting toothpicks in the package they came in...I'll EVEN separate the whites from colors....boredom is the overiding factor here....!
And, I've never had any problems...not even when my orange blouse had streaks of green....just washed it four times...how easy can it GET!!!!!!

2 for me, im simple....whites and colors
If you have to ask " clean or Dirty" ......just wash it ...........Whites,Darks,lights
I did not know laundry had any category other then clean and dirty. I wait till the clothes are standing up all by themselves in the corner before they go into the wash. Saves on wear and tear.
Hehee...I just separate into 3 primary categories:
-Darks (anything that could "bleed" color in the wash)
-Whites (everything that can be bleached)
-Colors (everything else)
My laundry.
Your laundry.
Two categories.
