I wanted to ask everyone here how do you do your laundry for your women's clothes. Normally, with my male clothes, I just throw in the washer, add detergent, and wash red clothes separately (which I don't really own many red male shirts or pants).
With my female clothes, I tend to be a bit more careful, since my female wardrobe consists of a wider variety of colors and types of garments. Normally, if I'm not sure about an item, I test it by washing it separately with something else that I don't care if it gets ruined, to see whether or not it ruins the other item, and then I determine if it's safe to mix with other clothes. So my questions for you are this.
1. Do you follow the instructions as said on each garment?
2. Do you machine wash, or hand wash, or a mix of both?
3. Are there any other colors, or color combinations aside from red, that you would wash separately?
4. What about jeans, leggings, or jeggings? I have seen labels on some of these garments say that they need to be washed separately since they're made of a thicker dye?
5. Are there any particular garments you would only take to a professional dry cleaner?
6. Do you have any other laundry advice or tips? (Aside from don't out yourself by washing machine hahaha)
7. If an item says machine wash, is it still okay to wash by hand?
Edit. Added new question #7
