To answer this washing mystery, we must dive deep into the washing machine and find out the best settings to use with grey items. We must then find out which settings are best for light and dark washes and then piece this washing puzzle together. As you know, your washing should be split into colour groups. Your white should have a pile, your lighter colours should and so too should your darks.
Your grey clothes should go in the dark pile. The reason for this is simple. Your light pile of clothing is for pastel colours like pinks, light blues and lavenders, for example.
The dark pile is for blacks, navies, reds and greys. Never mix white cloths with darker cloths especially those that are new. Never, even if you inherited it from your grandma. It still has the potential to leak!! On the other hand, white cloths should never ever be paired up with darker colors for laundry, including black cloths.
This is to prevent bleeding on the whites which can be nearly impossible to get rid of. Treat them as though they are white cloths in the washer.
Unless the fabric manufacture was on weed to have impregnated whites with portions that bled? Now when it comes to washing them with other clothes, avoid those that bleed and also those that are darker. If yours bleed a quick experiment should point that out , then keep it away from white cloths until they stop bleeding, in which case they are safe to clean with whites.

Your name. Your e-mail. Friend's name. Though many people swear by sorting laundry before washing it, you can wash your darks and lights together with little risk of your lights changing colors.
Keep in mind, however, that over time, colors will begin to fade if you always wash darks and lights together. Generally, the clothes should be arranged from light to dark. Whites and creams will lead into pinks and light reds, continuing through the rainbow and ending with black. Red clothing is laundry enemy 1, as it is notorious for turning an entire load of whites a pale pink. You can wash reds, bright oranges, hot pinks and deep purples together once you are sure they are colorfast.
Basically any garment that can stand up to the dye in a pair of blue jeans. Use hot water — or the warmest water recommended for the fabric — to remove body oils and grime that can dull the surface of white clothes. Wash heavily soiled clothes in hot water, moderately dirty clothes in warm water, and delicate fabrics in cold water.
Soak the clothes in cold water containing salt or oxygen bleach, for few minutes. It is advisable to carry out this activity before wearing the garment for the first time. Wash the clothes in cold water. A gentle wash is sufficient for colored clothes.
