Durable white clothes should go on hot wash, cold rinse. Durable colors generally go on warm wash and cold or warm rinse. Permanent press generally goes on cold wash and cold rinse. What colors bleed in the wash? For clothes that may bleed, like blue jeans, wash them in a load with similarly colored clothing. Do not rely on detergents and color catcher cloths that promise to trap dye. They are not reliable and you may still end up with pink underwear.
Use cold water when washing and rinsing to help colors last longer. Can you tumble dry jeans? When it comes to drying jeans, be sure to turn your pair inside out and tumble dry them on a delicate cycle and low heat setting, unless the care label directs otherwise.
Plus, jeans will actually last longer and stay in shape better if you take them out of the dryer when they're slightly damp.
How do you dry black clothes? Drying Tips Tumbling in the dryer with other clothes roughs up the surface of the fibers, creating a halo of fuzz that catches light and makes black clothes appear faded. Instead, keep the garments turned inside out and hang them to dry in your laundry room, or lay sweaters flat to dry. What shouldn't you tumble dry?
Because the clothes are still wet, color bleeding can still occur, and there are some clothes, such as sweaters that could be damaged by coming into contact with items with zippers, during the tumble process.
Additionally, clothes should be separated by fabric types. Mixing denser fabrics with lighter or more delicate ones, like jeans in with a light T-shirt, can wear out the lighter or more delicate clothing quicker and easier from the constant friction and rubbing together with the harder and denser fabrics.
This is why jeans should be washed separately. The simplest way of sorting washing is sorting your lights from your darks. However, there are other categories to consider too. If, for example, you have a bright pink shirt and a light blue shirt, you should separate these too. If you have a lot of colours, it is best to split your items into as many colour groups as possible. Reds with reds, yellows with yellows and so on.
We know that not every household has enough washing to make this viable, though. So, where you can, split your washing into groups of similar colours.

Items that don't bleed, and were washed separately only because of wash temperature, should be fine.
