Of course colours will have to be washed separately and will suffer, but if the alternative is throwing the clothes away it's worth trying. My advice: have something much more urgent to do, and then you'll find laundry an attractive alternative. ;-) When nothing else works I just wash at a very high temperature, usually the whites cycle (60 or even 95 C).

As I sort, I treat each stain individually (with a spray, probably toxic). Then anyone can do a load at any time over the next few days because they are all sorted and treated. I also have a special load pile no one is allowed to touch but me. Once a week (usually Sunday) I put on a podcast, and sort ALL of the laundry.
