<p>So I have a lot of different bright clothes/towels. How should I wash these? Should I just use my hands or the washer and dryer at school? Also what about colors like yellow, orange, and light blue. Do I wash them separately or are bright clothes just grouped together?</p>
<p>If they’re new, wash separately with only like colors.</p>
<p>If they’ve been washed before, chances are they won’t bleed. You should still try and wash with like colors, but you shouldn’t have problems with a machine. I use warm water for everything but whites and towels, for which I use hot.</p>
<p>If you want your colors to remain bright, wash them in COLD water only. Dry on the low setting.</p>
<p>I wash reds and oranges only with like colors the first time they are washed-- and dark wash jeans usually totally by themselves the first time because sometimes they bleed. After that I wash EVERYTHING together in cold water unless it is delicate, whichcase it goes in a mesh lingerie bag and still gets thrown in. I have NEVER damaged anything doing laundry in this way.</p>
<p>Well the thing is the washers at my school only have the settings Whites, Colors, Brights, and three other things (I think they are knitted, delicates, and something). So I mean I would assume the three settings are automatically adjusted for those colors to do cold water, low dry, etc., but I’m concerned about stuff such as washing my orange hand/face towel with my light blue polo. I’m not 100 percent sure if the polo was washed because I bought it before the semester started and my mom may or may not have washed it.</p>
<p>We have Whites, Colors, Brights, Woolen, and something else. I use Woolen because it is the coldest water. I don’t remember how the others stack up, there’s a diagram on the lid of our washers, but I remember whites is the hottest. Then the dryers have delicates, perm press, and something else. I use the something else, I can’t remember what it is. But I pretty much just wear t shirts and jeans and anything that stands any chance of shrinking does not go in the dryer, so I can get away with frying my clothes. I’d pick delicates for the dryer setting if I was worried. If you have never washed the orange towel before just wash it with other orange/red stuff the first time, maybe twice if you’re worried. You ought to be able to mix them once it’s been washed a few times, the dyes won’t bleed forever.</p>
