    Exacta. I stopped bothering with ironing or separating whites from colors a decade ago. It doesn’t get bought if it picks up stains from other clothes, bleeds color to other clothes, or gets wrinkled even if I hang dry or hang it up hot from the dryer.

    Only exception is merino wool sweaters (lay flat to dry) and a few dress clothes (dry clean only).

      I’m guessing you do first few washes of new clothes separate from others because almost always they give out some colour at first

          It can just make it so that all colours and especially white clothes get “muddled” and look more worn faster. But if it doesn’t bother you then I wouldn’t separate them either, extra effort for no benefit
