My mom is gone on a business trip for 1 week and she left a couple of days ago, my dad is busy with work and my siblings are always with their friends... I spend a lot of time at home, since a lot of my friends are gone on vacations. Yesterday my dad told me to start acting more mature and helping around the house. Like doing the dishes and doing laundry. I can do the dishes but I'm not very good with laundry. So my question is,
- How do I seperate the piles.... Whites, colors and darks right?? ok but what about whites that have some color designs on them? Is it ok to wash colors that are not the same? Like blue and pink together? What about socks? My dad has socks that are white and gray. I know you wash towels and sweatshirts together right? does the color matter for those? I want to do laundry, but I'm scared I'll screw something up and my dad will be mad at me. I googled up laundry but there was only 1 good result, wikipedia and that was a little help. So any other helpful laundry advice? (link)

heres how i do mine..
separate into 4 things, whites, lights, darks, towels.
WHITES; all white teeshirts, tanks, shorts, undies, socks, sweatshirts, basically anything plain white!! no off whites, or anything with something written on it. *use bleach if everything is ALL white
LIGHTS; light pink, blue, green, light grey, anything white with designs on it, bras, colored undies or socks, anything basicallly LIGHT colored!!!!
DARKS; blacks, navys, purple, dark grey, dark green & bright colors, such as bright yellow or pink. shirts, shorts, pants, pajamas, whatever!!! sweatshirts can also go in here
TOWELS; this is simple, just towels! NO BLEACH UNLESS ALL TOWELS ARE WHITE!
*** some tips
- dont use bleach unless everythings white,
- dont forget to hang up all clothes after washing,
- use dryer for towels, sheets, stretchy tanks or shirts, undies, socks, big sweatshirts, pjs and anything that WONT shrink!!!!
good luck!!!!!!!!
