Laundry

I've grown up doing laundry and was always careful about mixing light and darks or reds and lights, etc. But I've also met a lot of people who have mixed (university) and never had problems. In fact despite some of these washers being stuffed to capacity didn't seem to matter; the clothes still got clean.

Now, for the first time, a shirt that I've had for 3+ years, has decided to lend it's red color to all the lights in the load. Now several socks, undershirts, and underwear are the cutest color of pink I've ever seen.

The good news: the clothes were all old and not many were affected. The white shirts gone pink were from 2003 and 2004, so their prime had already past a long time ago.

The other good news: I have a fantastic washing machine. Yes the red bled onto other clothes but it was like a beautiful dying job. The red->pink spread perfectly on the clothes; no spots or splotches.
