About Laundry Load Checker

A free tool that answers one everyday question: which of these clothes can I safely wash together?

Sorting laundry is one of those chores everyone is expected to just know how to do. Most of us learned it piecemeal — a ruined white shirt here, a shrunken sweater there. Laundry Load Checkerexists so you don't have to learn by ruining clothes.

You select the items in your pile, and the checker groups them into loads that are safe to wash together, separates the ones that aren't, and recommends washer and dryer settings for each load — always with an explanation of why.

Our principles

  • Free and open: the checker never requires an account.
  • Conservative by design: when in doubt, we recommend the gentler, safer option. See how recommendations work.
  • The care label wins: our advice is general; the label sewn into your garment is specific. When they disagree, follow the label.
  • No false certainty:we never guarantee an item won't shrink, fade, bleed, stretch, snag, or otherwise be damaged. Laundry outcomes depend on factors no website can see.
