so provided you make sure that occasional new, susceptible items are not
included in the same load as any whites for the first 3 or 4 washes, no
problem.

You COUNT how often something is washed?

Well of course! Doesn't everyone? There's a wall chart in the utility
room detailing each person's garments, date of purchase, any special
washing instructions, and naturally the date of each wash. (Alternative
answer - "hmm - have I ever put this through the wash before? y/n")

Strewth, I've turned into Aggie. Better get back to my bathroom refit
rapidly!!

Who's Aggie?

Being telly-less I thought you might ask that! Try:
