[Blindtlk] Washing, How to Avoid Colours in Clothes Running in The Washing Machine

[Annely Rose]

There is something you can buy to put in the wsher that prevents the colors from bleeding.  I don't remember the name, but I will ask my supervisor tomorrow and will get back to you.

Figure out which clothes can be washed together without colors running (you
may need sighted assistance for this); then devise a system such as flash
cards with Braille on them with a hole punched in to go on hangers and
systematically hang the clothes on them. There are an infinite number of
ways to organize this way but one might be to have classes of washing (1, 2,
3, etc.) that can each be washed together and always put the clothes on the
correct hangers.

This implies hanging dirty clothes on hangers which no one does so another
alternative would be to get some color labels (I'd bet our Independence
Market has them or Independent Living Aids or some such) and have them sewn
on the proper clothes. Then you could make a Braille chart to remind
yourself what colors can be washed with what.

This worked for me when I was single although I preferred to just
color-coordinate clothes so everything could be washed together and it
wouldn't matter.

Your imagination is the only limit on devising such schemes.

Hi all,

How can I do this? I should say I'm fully blind.

Thanks
