There are few people who have not experienced the agony of realizing that their favorite piece of clothing has been destroyed by the washing machine, and that it can no longer be purchased anywhere. But then crying and moaning and praying to the gods to turn back time are pointless. But you can learn something from an accident. For example, how to wash laundry well so that it does not lose its quality? Read more about it in this article.
How to wash laundry well so that it does not lose quality:
Do not use too hot water.
The colder the water, the better the laundry will retain its quality. Of course, the water temperature must be adapted to the material and color. If there are no dried stains on your clothes, lukewarm water will be perfectly sufficient for intensive washing. It is best to use liquid powder and not to overfill the drum.
Wash dried stains beforehand.
If you are dealing with dried stains, it is best to rinse it with warm water before washing, and if necessary clean it a little with dishwashing detergent.
Some clothes just don't fit in the washing machine.
Yes, the truth is that certain items of clothing should be hand washed. Trust me, it's not worth the risk of your new cashmere sweater shrinking and your silk shirt tearing due to too much centrifugal force.
Sort by color.
Although sorting by color takes more time than simply throwing clothes in the washing machine, it is definitely worth it. One poorly dyed sock can ruin a load of laundry and turn your beautiful white shirts into pink messes.
Black can stay black
Black pants can stay black if you follow these simple steps: turn black clothes inside out, wash them in cold water, and use a suitable detergent.
