I wash my fabrics together, with clothes, on warm with liquid soap, a Shout Color Catcher sheet, but NO fabric conditioner. The color catcher actually "catches" any excess color (reds, blues, etc) that might deposit out on your clothes, ruining them!!!! I dry them all together, too, with a static sheet in the dryer. I do remove the fabrics from the dryer before they are completely dry to avoid setting in the wrinkles. Good luck!!!!!!
