I do a load of whites last night. Hubby leaves a thin point marker type pen in his shirt pocket. Does HIS white shirt have big black spots on it? NOOOOOOOOOO. They're all over my white blouse

EMPTY YOUR POCKETS BEFORE TOSSING LAUNDRY INTO THE BASKET

This should be a poll regarding laundry & pockets. Should the person doing the laundry have to go through every pocket, pants & shirts, to make sure they are empty. Or should the person tossing the laundry into the basket have the presence of mind to empty all pockets?

If you're doing you husbands laundry ALWAYS check the pockets. I was know to leave carmex in my pockets (and occasionally a pack of gum). If those make it to the dryer its not a good thing.

I've always had the rule that I only wash my own clothes.

Check your own pockets.

Cash found in the washer, dryer or in pockets becomes property of whoever actually did the laundry.

Oh, that sounds bad! My hubby routinely leaves kleenex in his pockets.....as a rule, we check our own clothes prior to washing. However, this has happened more than often than not.....wet shredded kleenex all over the clothes is not fun. Especially if I hang them to dry (instead of using the dryer).

can you tell my wife that because if i ruin another one of her bras she's going to kill me

The gum was by far the worst. Actually I don't think it even made it to the dryer. Of course when I did it the clothes were some of my better shirts so I was stuck trying to pick little specs of gum off about 1/2 the shirts.

Carmex OTOH will just leave what looks like oily spots on your clothes.

My wife does my laundry now

Doesn't it seem more logical to wash just your own clothes? I mean, if kids come into the picture I understand that would change things...

My wife doesn't like the way I wash even my own clothes, not to mention if I attempted to do hers. I'm generally a cold only guy so I don't ruin anything

That's our trade off, she does all the laundry and I keep the house clean. Since I'm a kind of a clean freak she just lets me do what I do around the house and she takes care of the laundry

Yeah I can understand if you are trading responsibilities. I guess I would still rather not be responsible for anyone's clothes - and I'd rather not have anyone touching my clothes. I've never really lived alone and I've never washed anyone else's clothes...
