Washing is one of the most common household chores, but many do it incorrectly, which leads to rapid wear of clothes, stains and unpleasant odors. The first rule is to sort by fabric type and color. Wash whites separately from colored ones, delicate fabrics (silk, lace) from coarse ones (denim, cotton). This will prevent fading and damage to fibers. Also wash heavily soiled items separately so that the dirt does not transfer to clean ones.

Turn items inside out before washing – especially jeans, T-shirts with prints and colored items. This protects the surface from friction, fading and erasing of patterns. Fasten zippers, fasten or secure buttons so that they do not damage the drum or other items.
Choose the right washing mode. For everyday clothes, 30-40 ° C is enough. High temperatures are only needed for linen, towels and heavily soiled items. Wash delicate fabrics on the “hand wash” or “silk” cycle. Do not overload the washing machine — leave room for water and soap to move.
Use the right amount of powder. Excess will not improve cleanliness, but will leave streaks and damage the machine. It is better to use a liquid detergent — it dissolves better and is suitable for low temperatures. For delicate fabrics — gels, for whites — oxygen-based bleach (not chlorine!).
