This is the one flylady thing that has truly helped me. Maya can be a messy eater, Sam works out, and I'm a sweaty person, and so the three of us plus kitchen/bedroom/bathroom linens do make one load a day. We have a great non-mangling washer and in lieu of sorting, I wash everything that isn't newly dyed in cold water -- and lo, there is no weekly hip-high pile of laundry any more, I feel like I've got my act together, and I'm only wearing the clothes I really enjoy wearing instead of wearing what is available and clean.
But, uh, there are things that say "I love you" better than clean gutchies.
