Washing clothes will be successful if you read the manufacturer's information, which is located on the label.

But not a single label says what to do with buttons and zippers. Most housewives think that everything should be buttoned. Let's figure out if this is really true.

What to do with clasps

The zipper definitely needs to be closed. Its edges can damage things.

Therefore, jeans, jackets, sweaters and other clothes should be fastened with such locks.

It is also recommended to turn the clothes inside out to preserve the color.

What to do with buttons

This is more complicated. When washing shirts made of thick material, you do not need to fasten the buttons.

The buttons on the collar and cuffs should also be unbuttoned before placing the items in the machine drum.

If this is not done, the loops may become deformed or the buttons may come off.

Clothes with glass or ceramic buttons are best washed by hand or in a special laundry bag.
