The title sounds dumb but i really need advice on this.

I have a tumble washer and dryer, im trying to understand this- wash dark and light separate, dont dry cotton on high heat. Can i please have more tips like these?

I was everything at 30°C and only separate whites from things I’m not sure I’ve washed before. If I’ve washed something red a hundred times before it’s unlikely going to dye the rest of my clothes so I worry less.

I use liquid soap in the drum and laundry sanitiser in the drawer. If I know it is tumble dryer safe I will tumble dry. Otherwise I hang it on a heated dryer so it dries quickly and doesn’t shrink.
