Proper washing of clothes does not mean sorting them by color and type of fabric or choosing the right powder.
This topic cannot be covered in 2-3 tips. Often housewives forget about basic things, such as using conditioner or drying washed items.
Here are some tips to help you dot the i's and cross the t's on this issue.
1. Sorting
Held in the following categories:
- white;
- colored;
- dark;
- and also the laundry is sorted based on water temperature recommendations.
2. Stain treatment
This is an important point. You can effectively combat stains only by pre-treating the fabric with special products. This could be a stain remover, liquid detergent or folk remedies.
3. Amount of powder
It doesn't matter whether it's a washing gel, a classic powder or regular soap. In any case, excess household chemicals will remain in the fibers, and whites will begin to darken, and colored ones will fade.
4. Air conditioning
This is a hot topic. The product should make the fabric softer, but to do this, you need to add conditioner in small quantities. Excess of it makes the fabric stiff.
5. Don't overload
In addition to the fact that an overloaded machine reduces the washing efficiency (rinsing and spinning become worse), household appliances also deteriorate faster.
6. Drying
If you use a washing machine with a dryer, it is better to use a low intensity program. In other cases, it is not recommended to dry colored laundry in direct sunlight - it may fade.
