Most people know that sorting laundry begins by separating white clothes from dark ones. However, some experts think that you should go even further and organize clothes by shades. Start by putting together a pile of clothes that are completely white – no patterns or embroidery.
The next group should include whites with prints or embroidery, along with pale yellow shades. Brights go into a separate pile – think colors like red, orange, bright yellow, light blue, green and so on.
Lastly, take a look at your dark clothes. While you should be safe grouping them together, you may consider separating purples, blues and other dark colors from brown or black fabric. This may help keep brown or black dye from darkening other colors.
