if the clothes are in the wash basket inside out they stay that way if not i dont care lol.

I do separate loads for -
DH's work clothes (he's a mechanic)
kids clothes
sheets and towel's
anything else gets mixed (very few whites so if i have something i want to be careful with i tend to throw it in with the kids stuff)

I use powder- no fabric softener as its not good for front loaders so I've been led to belief (i could be wrong but it what my dad used to drum into me)

who hangs out clothes? isn't that what my dryer is for? PMSL
Seriously i pay no attention sometimes peg share other times not depends on my mood but i do shirts from under the arms, pants from the bottom as i find they don't crease as much with the weight of the waist band and gravity. I am not fussy as long as it gets dry. I am a huge fan of my dryer for sheets and towel's though.
