we do the washing weekly at the weekend and i usually seperate into whites coloureds darks and towels but i will also create I don`t know 3 more loads of delicates or half loads sometimes. i discern like i am wasting hose down and energy and soap powder but i dream up they should be done like this within small loads if they are delicate. and different colour
Answers:    I agree. I hold learned that unless work type clothes are REALLY dirty, they can be wash on the gentle or foot wash cycle near the delecates, making a full load. I other wash beside warm to cold marine so I separate colors/darks from whites/lights. (I do female undies and the similar to with close to items only, though)
I newly buy more clothes and wait til I own a full load other before I do any.....as long as the clothes are not wet through or wet they will hang about for a full load...Sometimes it take 2 or more weeks til I get a full nouns......especially the red colored load. I other seperate them..I would kill them if I didn't
