Definately his and hers. His stuff gets so much dirtier than mine and mine is also much more delicate. I don't want to chance getting grease and/or grime on my stuff. I also wash our stuff separately from each others.
We put all of our laundry in the same basket. FI's is super clean so no worries about grease and grime! We just separate darks and lights when it comes time to do loads of laundry.
It all goes in the same basket. Dirty clothes are dirty clothes.
All in one. The only time I wouldn't want his clothes to touch mine is when he's been to the gym (yuck!) but then he always just puts his stuff straight into the machine anyway.
My FI's job is very labor intensive and he gets dirty whether he wants to or not, so that is why I said that. He cleans up pretty good, but sometimes there is stuff on his clothes that I do not want near my stuff.
We put it all in one...or two if we've been lazy! Even if FI was dirty and grimy, it pretty much doesn't bother me. When it's really bad I make him strip and just run a load right then so that no stains set in.
His and Hers. He works on cars a lot and is a firefighter so if his clothes aren't covered in grease, they smell like smoke. And you cannot, no matter how you try, get the smell out. He even has two baskets to separate his smoky/greasy clothes from his other stuff.
All together, and then when we fold, he's constantly trying to take my black dress socks cause his all have HOLES in the toe!
Wow, I'm impressed. I didn't think it would be almost 3 to 1. Everyone I've ever known has done his and hers, and my husband and I put ours together, so I thought we were weird. Turns out we're in the majority with the hive! :)
we have three baskets - whites, darks and colored/in between (which gets divided later because it definitely fills up the fastest).
EDIT: I voted for the one basket, even though we have three, because we do mix our laundry, and that seems to be more your point. :)
we have separate baskets!!
the only difference with us is that after i do laundry i fold and put my clothes away. (like in drawers) He does laundry, puts it back in his "clean laundry" basket and lives out of it for 2 weeks until we do laundry again. He doesn't put anything in a dresser or anything. drives me nuts.
He also doesn't like to mix our clothes!! hes so weird sometimes. owell.
We have one shared basket. But man, my husband produces so much more dirty laundry than I do! We go out dancing a lot and he usually sweats up a storm whereas I tend to stay cooler so my clothes stay fresher longer. So that basket is always brimming.
We separate like daydream, so I voted for one. I do all our laundry, and it's just easier to keep an eye on what needs to be done if the baskets are mixed! We both work office-esque jobs, though, so no one thing is much dirtier than the other. I didn't realize people still did their laundry separately after living together!
We have the same basket. I don't let him put greasy garage clothes in there though because car grease basically doesn't wash out of anything.
ours is all separate. but if he really needs a pair of pants or a shirt washed I won't mind throwing his stuff in with mine if I'm doing mine at the time.
Separate. Most of my stuff doesn't get put in the dryer. Plus i wash all in cold on gentle and he's like "clothes are clothes"
He doesn't get that lingerie goes on delicate cycle with my gym clothes, my jeans get turned inside out first and washed in cold, etc....
I voted one because we put our clothes together but we have three. Whites, colors, and towels.
We have a cabinet with 4 baskets and for the most part they are mixed but separated by darks/whites/colors. The 4th basket though is for his dirty work clothes.
We have two baskets - darks and lights. But we put all of our clothes together :)
Same hamper, but we're getting one of those that sorts into different colors. Woo!
There was no other: we both throw everything on the floor and throw it in one basket on laundry day. Okay, well sometimes stuff makes it to the hamper instead of the floor, but not always. My stuff tends to get grosser than his, actually... mostly because I'm always going to the gym where I have to shove the dirties in a plastic bag until I get home.
Right now they all get put in one basket then sorted for washing but I did register for one of those ones with three different baskets because I would love to have it all pre-sorted.
We have separate baskets, but only because we generate too many clothes to fit them all in one.
We have both actually, since we seem to generate a ton of laundry. FI does almost all of it, and it's typically sorted his n hers depending on the load.
We wash all our clothes together. Neither of us does insanely dirty work, so it's not like his clothes would dirty mine any more, or vice versa.
we live together and we both have our own baskets (he has 2 and I have one). His clothes are like 4 times the size of mine or more so when we combined for a couple weeks at first, I would have NO clothes in the washer if I just went and grabbed some. So this way I can make sure it is an even portion of mine and his. If we didnt have to pay for laundry maybe I wouldnt still do this. Oh and he sometimes take his to his moms and I dont want her washing my clothes.

I was reading a post aloud to my husband becuse I wanted his opinion, and it struck a whole different question, and I'm curious what others do- does all of your laundry (meaning both yours and his) go into the same basket? Or do you have separate baskets for each of you, his and hers style?
