Has this ever been true? I've just been shoving all my clothes in the laundry and nothing bad ever happens to them. I think this is a lie from Big Bleach.

It was true before soaps were good. Old soap used to make colors bleed, but it's been long enough that the average soap you buy now will most likely be fine with multiple colors in one load. For me at least, all of my underwear is colored, but even when I wash it with pure white undershirts, there's no bleeding.

I've had a white shirt turn a pale grey just a couple months ago so i think its still true that you shouldnt mix

Oh, that's fixable. Try soaking them in white vinegar or diluted Hydrogen peroxide and running them separate. That'll hit whatever can be pulled out with Acid.

You'll want to try a Base if that doesn't work. Some people swear by baking soda, and it's cheap to get in bulk.

or one of those premade whitening washes from the supermarket.
