Can I wash white, black, and brown clothes at the same time? and can I dry them at the same time as well?

Absolutely not.....what is wrong with you? Your clothes will look dingey grey. I honestly don't recommend drying your whites with anything. You can toss the blacks in with the browns tho..

sort whites, then soft colors, dark colrs, reds, jeans, etc. pay attention to washing the same weight of fabric together so that nothing pills and don't stuff the machines too full. if you have regular top[ loaders, a regular size laundry basket is all you should put in at once. check the labels on the clothing, that will help alot. most clothes wash well in cold water now with the liquid laundry detergents, pretreat anything questionalble witheither the laundry detergent itself or a stain spray...i like fabric softner sheets...good luck...oh, for drying, it's best to wash and dry same colored loads together to avoid different colored lint exchanges.

NO!! There is a reason that clothes are different colors. If you really wanted all of your clothes to be a dingy gray you would have bought them that color. Seperate the whites from the browns fromthe blacks. Your clothes will look much better that way and therefore so will you!

Might not want to wash the white with black and brown. They might fade on the white. You can dry together though.

I wash all colors together, except for the whites. Whites need to be seperate to stay bright. You can always use oxi-clean in there with any detergent and it's just as effective as bleach, but you can use it on colors too. I'll even wash red in with the colors as long as I know it won't run.
But whites will be better seperately. Can't say I never washed them with colors, but I try not to.

If all the cloths have been washed previously and won't bleed you can. But it's not the best and you won't be able to use bleach or a whitener on the whites.

you shouldnt cuz colors fade but i wash colored(browns blacks, blues, greens, pretty much everything but whites) and whites seperate. unless its new then i would only wash with clothes similar to that color.---especially red!!! the 1st couple of times you wash new clothes the dye fades out.

Yes, you can, but I would separate the whites to keep them bright. If it's just socks and underwear, however, who cares???
