Ok couldn't help it I am chuckling.

Seperate them by color. Although I have to to leave shauns work close out and wash them all together, he is a framer and he gets really dirty at work. But anyay, wash your dark colors and and bright colors seperately and your whites seperatly. Use warm for the whites, and I always use cold for any colors dark or bright to keep them from fading and the coloring from running. As far as bleaching the colors, use clorox bleach 2 for colors its safe and won't ruin your clothes. Hope this helps.

I don't understand where the dark black spots could be coming from after you wash? Is there something in your dryer causing that?

[AzureN1ght]

About the black spots--do you work with anything like tar? Do you forget things like pens in the pockets of things? If there isn't anything on the inside of your washer/drier causing the spots--they have to be caused by something that's coming in on your clothes.

it has happened at my moms house and at the laundry mat! it's something i'm doing..........maybe it's left over detergent but i put the recommended amount in

[SarahMB]

I always start the water running in the washer, add liquid detergent, then add the clothes. If I don't do that, the detergent can leave oily looking spots on the clothes, although they aren't black spots. Could that be what you are seeing?
