This may sound so silly but I have some laundry questions ...

I am doing laundry for the first time, not at home… which means needing money to do it. I know how to separate darks from lights but when it comes to hand towels from the kitchen, a bath mat, and regular towels… I am not sure what to do!

I don’t want to wash my kitchen hand towels together, because they are different colors. So I figured I’d wash my dark hand towels with my dark bath towels… but should I was my light hand towels with my sheets (I don’t have light bath towels)? Or just alone (which seems like a waste of 4 bucks)? I have not used the kitchen towels with raw meat, so is it OK to wash them with light clothing? ahhh! Also, I have a dish drying mat – how do I was this?

How do you do your laundry?
