    The only problem which I've encountered in the past by mixing coloureds and lights/whites in the t'dryer .... is white lint left all over black clothing, which is a mess and boring to have to remove.

    Hence, I stick to keeping them separate if I have to use the dryer.

    I'm a terrible person, I don't bother separating whites at all! Only do it if I have a massive pile, or every now and again I will boil wash the towels to soften them.

    Don't have a tumble dryer yet.... but when I do get one, I probably won't bother seperating anything either.
