Match clothes color. You put in dark with dark. If they look dark put it in. Common dark colors: purple, black, blue, deep red.
Colors is a little tricky. If you have a bunch of random colors put then together. If you have 1 blue shirt and 10 red clothes… Don’t put them together.
Whites is… White.
Usually I like to put towels and beddings in a separate pile.
Match the water temperature with the colors.
Dark= cold
Colors = warm
Whites= hot
Towels/sheets= hot.
This will be,spilt for many people. After you turn on the water:
Liquid detergent. Full up to the line of the cap and pour it in. Usually people wait till it fill up but ain’t no one got time for that.
Pods thingy. I’ll be using these. Just put one pod in the water and the clothes in with it.
Wait around an hour. Some washer might be faster or slower.
Insert clothes in drying with dryer sheet or hang to dry.
That’s it.</p>
<p>Tip: if you get your clothes out of the dryer at the, right moment and hang it up you won’t have to do any ironing.</p>
<p>Jade… Why not? Having a schedule avoid potential conflicts. Some people may take longer then other. I’m sure you don’t want to deal with your suitemate who take a 50 minutes shower when you have class in 35 minutes.
I would honestly try the schedule.</p>
<p>Yeah, a schedule sounds a lot better. I like to know things ahead of time. I don’t want to end up being blocked from the bathroom for a long time, or end up blocking the bathroom for somebody else</p>
<p>None of the other three of us has a regular shower schedule. My roomie and I because of our hair (it’s not best to wash funky colored hair daily) and the last because of a skin condition. Making a schedule wouldn’t work. Plus, I don’t like schedules. At all. I prefer to find my own rhythm.</p>
<p>@maddsm: Trust me. I know like 10 people that take shower longer than 30 minutes.</p>
<p>@Jade: Well good luck with that. </p>
<p>I’m a night showerer so I won’t have to worry about people in the morning. Of course on some days I could take my shower when most of the dorm will be empty late morning.</p>
