Laundry 101 - Tips to Improve Results
When doing the laundry, here are some tips to improve results:
- Sorting properly: It’s best to wash colors with colors and whites with whites.
- Pre-treat or pre-soak spots, stains, and heavily soiled garments.
- When cleaning a heavy soil load add a little extra detergent to make sure you’re in a good cleaning environment. It also helps prevent re-deposition of removed soil back onto the “cleaned” clothes.
- Add liquid bleach to your white load.
- Use the warmest water temperature recommended for the fabric.
- Load the washer loosely. Overloading a washer won’t clean your clothes… and it may damage the machine.
- Better cleaning happens in soft water, so if you have hard water, you might consider moving to a powdered detergent – this type of detergent contains ingredients called builders that make the water softer.
- ALWAYS wash whites in HOT water. The hotter the water the better the dirt and odor removal.
- When removing a stain don’t forget to check for success after you wash and BEFORE you dry it – you may need to repeat the treatment.
