Quick Question About Laundry

<p>I noticed that on the washing machine, it gives you like 4 choices (perm, white, colors, and delicates)</p>

<p>I know this might sound stupid...but what does perm mean? :)</p>

<p>And does mixing white and colors really have an effect when I hit the color button? I've mixed some whites and colors before and hit the color button but nothing adverse seemed to happen...</p>

<p>perm means permanent press- like sheets - cool water, cool rinse - not so much tumbling</p>

<p>whites - hot water - </p>

<p>color - warm or cool water</p>

<p>separate whites from darks so your colors don't blend.</p>

<p>you plan to go to Cornell - do you really want pink underwear?</p>
