I do- darks that can go in the dryer

we wash a lot. we have a rather smallish washing mashine and no electric dryer (I have to hang up everything. we have 3 hangerstands)

95°C: white shirts, light cotton uderwear, towels and linen (with prwash and oxy)

40°C: darks and blacks (usually jersey tops, etc. (depends on wat is in the load this might be on delicate)

40°C: llights (pink, light colours, swimmwear, etc)

handwash with wooldetergant: kitel, zizis, silk, wool etc.

girls clothes gets dried in the girls room hangerstad
boys clothes on the boys room hangerstand
adult clothes on the parents (masterbedrom) hangerstand - this way its easy to fold and put away quickly.

EXCEPTION: shirts and a few items that need to be ironed.
those I hand next t the washing mahine. as soon as thy are kinda dry I iron them and pt them away immeiately (otherwise they pile up and sit in the laundry room FOREVER)
