Answer 1

As long as your clothes aren't new, you can get by with mixing your clothes into one load to get by for now.

Look at the knobs on the washing machine. One of them is for the different wash cycles. There will be several different kinds. You'll want the regular wash cycle, not the delicate/knits cycle. Turn the arrow on the knob to the regular load setting on this cycle. You might have to push the knob in to be able to turn it. You'll pull the knob out to start the water running.

There will be another knob for the water setting. Select the warm wash/cold rinse setting.

Now add your detergent. Most detergents come with a lid marked with different load measurements. Read your detergent container for directions. Usually, you'll use the light or small amount, for lightly soiled clothes.

Now to add the clothes. Only wash two pair of jeans this way. Throw in a few t-shirts. Avoid adding white underwear or socks because they might turn dingy. Do not fill the washer too full. About halfway up is fine, but not much more.

Close the lid.

Once the cycle is completely done, take them out and throw them in the dryer. Use the high heat setting and choose the regular load setting. Usually marked darker or bigger than the other settings, or might be called auto sense/more dry. Throw in a dryer/fabric sheet or two.

Close the door. Hold the button (or switch) until the dryer is running.

Sound easy? It is! Good luck!

Answer 2

Well, you could have just put them on the pile - there is not exactly a lot of folding in a bra. Incidentally, why did I never feel creeped out by folding my grown up sons underwear? Strange but true. PS our next door neighbour (who has retired and his wife has not and still works) does the family laundry and he hangs his daughters underwear items on the line without a thought, often chatting to me over the fence while he does so.

Answer 3

First seperate your clothes, one pile for whites and one pile for colored clothes. Then turn all your jeans inside out and any other garment that you think could fade in the wash. Wash the clothes in hot wash warm rinse cycle, and the clored clothes in a warm wash cold rinse. When the wash statrs put detergent in both loads, pour bleach in the white load and towars the end pour fabric softner in both loads.

Good luck
