Me too ,,,,,,,,,,

I don't count but maybe 10ish. All depends on the brush. I watch for water to stop coming out. My mirros have never been so clean since I strated this either. Added bonus of wet shaving :<0)

I was going to me three after hirlau, but i dont really count i just flick the water out into the bath or shower, and thats really it, so more of a pups in that respect.

If you are washing your towels after you have washed your whites with bleach, then there is still a small amount of bleach left in the machine, that mixes with your load of colored towels. Always wash whites last. Vinegar does not cause that, I use vinegar in my colors all the time.

Then you buy a new washing machine after every load of whites?

Sure we all buy new washers after every load of whites in the US . that way we never have any left over bleach in the bottom for our next load of colors. Doesnt everybody do that??

Nah, we just turn the drum inside-out for the next load. All the bleach remnants get flung off due to centrifugal force.

Bleach in the wash? I haven't done that in 20 years. I only use bleach to sanitize the front loader every now and then. Most modern detergents do a great job on whites as is.

I do all of the laundry for three reasons:

1. I don't like the way she puts my socks in the drawer.
2. I don't like the way she puts the top sheet on the bed.
3. She cleans the dryer filter before a new load and not after.
