Today, we\u2019re guiding you through laundry day, start to finish, and leaving you with a few extra tips to keep things running smoothly. Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-image-container  av-styling-    avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr  avia-align-center '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><div class='avia-image-overlay-wrap'><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-1162 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1162 avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/shutterstock_796263952-1500x630.jpg\" alt='' title='A,Happy,Housewife,Woman,In,Laundry,Room,With,Washing,Machine' height=\"630\" width=\"1500\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div   class='hr hr-default   avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Step One: Sort<\/h3>\n<p>While you don\u2019t need a pile for each color of the rainbow, not everything will play nice together in the wash. So, you\u2019ll need to do a bit of sorting to start. Follow these basic guidelines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Read labels as you go until you\u2019re more familiar with your clothes\u2019 wash instructions.<\/b> If something says hand wash or dry clean only, trust the instructions and don\u2019t stick it in the washer. It\u2019ll fall apart after a wash or two in a standard home appliance. Watch for items that need to be washed on delicate, and put them in their own pile, too.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Be mindful of fabric type.<\/b> Knits and delicates shouldn\u2019t be washed in the same load as clothes with buttons, togs, and zippers. Bulkier items like towels and blue jeans generally need to be washed and dried on slightly longer cycles, so they can be separated out from your lighter everyday clothes.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Separate whites out from deep colors.<\/b> You don\u2019t really need laundry colors to be more complex than that. If you have a ton of laundry, you can start sorting things out into slightly smaller groups, like pastels or mediums, for example. Generally, though, you\u2019ll be more water efficient by just sticking with the two categories.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>If you\u2019re washing a new article of clothing that might bleed,<\/b> like dark jeans or a red t-shirt, it\u2019s best to wash those separately at least once or twice before wearing to get the excess dye out.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Heavily soiled clothes may also need to be sorted out into their own pile.<\/b> They\u2019ll need a longer or heavy-duty wash cycle to get them completely clean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sorting will become more intuitive with practice. You can turn your things inside out as you go, too, to protect things like t-shirts with designs and blue jeans from becoming discolored. Also, don\u2019t forget to check pockets for change, lip balm, keys, and other things that might\u2019ve been left behind!<\/p>\n<h3>Step Two: Pre-Treat Stains<\/h3>\n<p>The sooner you deal with a stain, the better, but you might not always have time to soak something in cold water right after a big spill. So, after you\u2019ve sorted things, pre-treat any stains you\u2019ve found.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-treaters and detergent can generally be left on clothes for a day or two before they start to foster mildew growth or cause discoloration. Regardless of the method you use, though, if you haven\u2019t done it before, make sure you test it on a part of the fabric that can\u2019t be seen first \u2013 like an interior seam \u2013 to make sure it won\u2019t damage anything.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few things you can try:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Commercial pre-treatment sprays are a good option for stuck-on stains and should be used right before tossing the laundry in the wash. Stick pre-treaters can be applied ahead of time and left on a bit longer.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Rub a little bit of detergent onto the stain and let it sit. Using an enzyme-based detergent can also be effective.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">White vinegar can be applied to T-shirt stains. Just make sure it\u2019s soaked in.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If you\u2019ve got some time, you can apply a paste of baking soda and water. Let that dry on the stain before putting the item in the wash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step Three: Pick Your Cycle<\/h3>\n<p>Time to pick your wash cycle! To conserve water and protect your clothes from damage, you should generally err for shorter cycles unless your clothes are <i>really <\/i>soiled.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some more general guidelines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Normal\/regular settings work for sturdy clothes and towels. In spite of the name, \u201cnormal\u201d is <b>not <\/b>the setting you\u2019ll be using most.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Permanent press is a fast wash cycle with a slow spin cycle. Most of your clothes and sheets should be washed on this setting.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Delicate is there for clothes that might snag or tear, like knitwear, lingerie, and clothes with embellishments.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">When in doubt, wash on cold. Hot water will cause colors to fade, cottons to shrink, and certain stains to set in. Use hot when you need to break up body oil, sanitize something, or remove heavy soiling \u2013 like if you\u2019re washing bed linens, very dirty clothes, or cloth face masks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step Four: Soap up<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a top-loading washer, it\u2019s generally best to let the tub fill most of the way with water before adding your detergent. Your washer may have a detergent drawer, which will automatically dispense cleaning agents at the appropriate times. Make sure you\u2019re putting them in the right spot!<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s talk about your options!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Liquid detergent is tried and true. You can use it to pre-treat, it dissolves well in water, and it does its job well.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Powder detergent is shelf-stable, so they can be bought in bulk and will last for a long time without losing effectiveness. They generally use less packaging, too, making them the most environmentally-friendly option.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Laundry pods are convenient, but consider that they are a great deal more expensive per load than the other options. They are also pre-measured, and while one may not be enough to get your laundry completely clean, two in one load will almost certainly lead to scummy build up on your clothes and in the appliance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>No matter which detergent you\u2019re using, make absolutely sure you\u2019re using an appropriate amount for the load of laundry you\u2019re cleaning,<\/b> and that it\u2019s been put in the appropriate receptacle. Too little detergent, and your clothes won\u2019t get clean. Too much, and you\u2019ll cause a host of problems, from leaving your clothes dingy and itchy to actually damaging the interior of your dryer.<\/p>\n<p>Read the packaging for your detergent closely, and check your appliance\u2019s manual, as well. High efficiency washers usually have strict guidelines about what detergent to use, how much is needed, and where it should be added.<\/p>\n<p><b>What about fabric softener? <\/b>While fabric softener does work, it isn\u2019t really necessary unless the clothes you\u2019re washing specifically call for it. It can potentially damage some items \u2013 like water resistant clothes and towels. It\u2019s also the most expensive of the three fabric softening options. You may find that using cheaper and more eco-friendly wool balls in the dryer serves you just as well.<\/p>\n<p><b>What about bleach? <\/b>Bleach comes in two types and can be used to brighten whites and remove tough stains. Take care when using it, though.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Chlorine bleach is highly effective as brightening whites and removing stains, but used incorrectly, it can actually cause some serious damage to clothes. Read the labels on your clothes and the bleach bottle before using. Don\u2019t add it to laundry loads with clothes that don\u2019t play nice with bleach, and pay attention to any instructions about diluting it.\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">If you\u2019re adding it to an entire load of laundry, allow the wash cycle to go for about five minutes before pouring the bleach in. This will better protect your clothes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Color safe or oxygen bleach is much gentler and can be added to most laundry loads. However, it isn\u2019t as powerful as chlorine bleach and will not have the same dramatic brightening effect on white clothes.\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Color safe bleach should generally be added to the wash before the clothes have been added.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step Five: Wash Time!<\/h3>\n<p>Time to get the clothes in the washer. Load up, but don\u2019t overload! If there\u2019s too much in your washer, whether you have a top-loading model with an agitator or a front-loading washer with an impeller, your clothes won\u2019t get as clean as they could.<\/p>\n<p>You may think you\u2019re saving time, but overloading is less efficient. Clothes will take longer to get clean, using more water and electricity. The heavier load will also be more taxing on your washer\u2019s mechanical parts, wearing them out a little faster than if it\u2019d been a normal load.<\/p>\n<p>Once your laundry\u2019s loaded up, set the wash to go.<\/p>\n<h3>Step Six: Dry!<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t let your clothes sit too long in the washer. Mildewy smells can bloom in just a few hours, and those can stick on clothes through multiple washes if they\u2019re particularly bad.<\/p>\n<p>Now, how about your drying options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Line drying <\/b>is a great eco-friendly option that is kinder to your clothes\u2019 colors, elastics, and fabric fibers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Outdoor line drying in the right conditions will leave your clothes with a fresh, cozy, sun-baked scent and feeling. The weather has to be just right, though, and we\u2019re not just talking about rain. Humid days can leave line-dried clothes smelling just a bit off, and lack of direct sunlight will make your clothes take a lot longer to dry.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Indoor line drying is a good alternative if you have the space for it. You can find affordable retractable clotheslines online, or hang a curtain rod from the ceiling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Machine drying<\/b> is probably what you\u2019re going to go with, though. Choose the shortest and coolest option you can for your clothes to avoid damage, and the moisture sensor feature if your appliance has one.\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Load items into the dryer individually, not in clumps, and shake them out before putting them in. This will shorten dry time.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"2\">Using wool dryer balls in lieu of fabric softeners or dryer sheets is not only eco-friendly in the sense that you\u2019re reducing waste, it can also massively cut down on the time it takes to dry your clothes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step Seven: Put It All Away<\/h3>\n<p>Okay, time for the worst part: folding and putting everything away. You want to do this soon after your drying is done to avoid wrinkles. Now, how do you store your clothes?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Flowy fabrics, like dresses, blouses, and silks, should be hung up. <\/b>If you have a pet that is prone to destruction, invest in a clothing bag to keep things like this in, too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Linens, slacks, skirts, and jackets should all be hung up. <\/b>This will prevent creasing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Heavy knitwear should be folded up and stored,<\/b> whether it\u2019s dresses or sweaters. If they\u2019re hung up, they could stretch out of shape.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Activewear, athleisure, shorts, bras, and underwear<\/b> can all be folded and stored in drawers.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>T-shirts, jeans and other casual pants, and scarves <\/b>can be folded or hung up \u2013 whichever works best for your space needs.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Don\u2019t roll your socks!<\/b> It\u2019ll stretch them out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>A Few Final Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Mesh laundry bags will protect your delicates in the wash! If you toss your delicates in a hamper with a mesh laundry bag, it\u2019s that much easier to get them washed.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Take the extra step to organize your clothes. You don\u2019t necessarily need to wash every single thing after one wearing, but put stuff away in specific order so that you know if you\u2019ve already worn something.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/5-ways-to-keep-your-clothes-washer-in-great-shape\/\">Take care of your washer.<\/a> It\u2019s an expensive appliance, and damaging it can damage your clothes, too.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Clean your washer and dryer regularly to avoid mildew and bacteria blooms that can impart bad smells on your clothes.
