19 rules for washing clothes better

To wash clothes better, read care labels, sort loads (colors/fabrics), pre-treat stains, use cold water, do not overload machines, use less detergent, treat delicate clothes in mesh bags, and remove clothes as soon as possible to fold/hang them to prevent wrinkles, ensuring cleaner clothes and longer garment life.

Preparation and Ordering

Read Care Labels: They are your guide to water temperature, cycle, and drying.

Sort by Color and Fabric: Separate whites, light colors, and dark colors; group towels/jeans from delicate synthetics.

Preparing Clothes: Close zippers, fasten hooks and buttons, turn items inside out (especially graphic t-shirts).

Empty Pockets: Check for handkerchiefs, coins, etc., to prevent damage from the machine/clothing.

Pre-Treat Stains: Attack stains (especially grease) before washing with appropriate products.

Don't Overload: Clothes need space to move and clean; less is often more.

Use less detergent: 1-3 tablespoons is often enough; too much leaves residue.

Wash with cold water: Saves energy and is effective with modern detergents; only use hot for disinfection (disease).

Use mesh bags for delicate clothes: Protects bras, socks, and items with straps/lace.

Choose the Right Cycle: Match the settings (delicate, heavy, etc.) to the load.

Wash sick clothes separately: Use hot water loads for sick clothes to kill germs.

Clean your washing machine: Run a cleaning cycle every month to prevent buildup.

Drying and Finishing

Don't leave wet clothes sitting around: Remove them from the washing machine immediately to avoid wrinkles and mold.

Use dryer balls: They increase efficiency and reduce static electricity/wrinkles.

Read Drying Labels: Some items need to be dried on low heat or air dried.

Hang/Fold as soon as possible: Place clothes in drawers or on hangers immediately.

Avoid over-drying: High heat damages fabrics; air dry when possible.

Steam, don't iron: Steam is gentler on wrinkles; avoid ironing if you can.

Put them in place immediately: Have a system (baskets by person/room) to avoid rewashing. /CNA
