By the time laundry day rolls around, you may have mountains of dirty laundry to deal with. It’s time-consuming when you think about having to sort through it all, separating out colors, reading labels, and determining what should get placed into what pile.
There’s a growing debate about whether it’s even necessary to sort laundry still. After all, with all of the modern features on washing machines, is it necessary? Some say sorting is a thing of the past.
We’ve got a few things to look at…
Laundry is Evolving
Sorting laundry used to be mandatory. If you didn’t want colors to bleed or fabric to get damaged, you had to sort. Delicate items might need special care, like hand washing.
Most machines today have advanced technology that will sense loads. You can choose various cycles and temperatures. Plus, laundry detergents have evolved, claiming that they won’t allow colors to bleed.
To Sort or Not to Sort
Not sorting has its benefits:
It will save time
Detergents prevent colors from bleeding
Washing machines will make it easier to handle mixed loads
Larger loads are more economical
Sorting has its benefits, too:
Fabrics will last longer
You can focus on treating stains more effectively
Colors can stay more vibrant
You won’t damage specialty items like silk, wool, or lingerie
Ultimately, you have to find a middle ground for what works based on the machines you have, the detergents you use, and the kinds of things you wash on a regular basis.
