Set aside any dry-clean only articles of clothing.
Group together any delicates or cold-wash only clothing.
Group towels and heavy linens.
Separate the rest of your clothes into whites and dark or colored groups.
Turn T-shirts inside out to prevent the outside from wearing out and fading.This is especially important with graphic tees.
2
Get ready to wash. Now that your clothes are sorted you are almost ready to start washing. Review cleaning instructions for whichever group of laundry you want to begin with. Pre-treat any stained items with a stain removing spray or pen. Add detergent and fabric softener (if desired) to the washing machine.
3
Choose your wash cycle. Some washing machines have various preset cycles. If yours does, select the cycle that applies to your group of clothes. If yours does not, follow cleaning instructions on the tags of your clothes and follow a few guidelines.
Delicates and cold-wash only clothing need cold water and a gentle spin cycle.
Towels and linens can generally tolerate a warmer temperature and heavy spin cycle.
Whites will get cleanest using hot water, making it ideal unless any whites are not pre-shrunk.
Hot water can cause some color bleeding for dark or bright colors, so use warm or cold water.
4
Wash your clothes. This step is simple. Close the lid or door and press start! Be sure to observe the wash time - you'll want to dry your laundry quickly after washing it, lest it start to become stale.
5
Know what to do for clothes that cannot be washed at home.
Never wash the clothes marked as ‘Dry Clean Only’ at home, as these delicate clothes/ fabrics may lose their color, shine, texture or embellishments on washing.
Ones marked ‘Dry Clean First Wash’ should be given to professional cleaners the first time. Subsequently, you can wash them, using detergents meant for delicate clothes and tepid/ cold water.
Give them to professional and trusted dry cleaners for ‘petrol wash’.
Ethnic clothes like heavily embroidered Lehengas, delicate sarees and silk kimonos must not be washed/ dry cleaned frequently.
Part Two of Four:
Drying Your Laundry
1
Sort your laundry again. When the washing machine is done, you'll need to get ready to dry your laundry. If you plan to use an automatic dryer some items may need to be sorted out. Bras, sports jerseys, and athletic wear are among items that often benefit from manual drying.
2
Decide on your drying method. If you live in a temperate climate with low humidity and available outdoor space, you'll need to decide whether you want to hang your clothes outside or use an automatic dryer. If you live in a less ideal climate or don't have space, you'll need to opt for an automatic dryer.
Hanging items to dry prevents them from shrinking.
If you have the time, drying in natural sunlight and air is usually best.
Sunlight is a natural disinfectant, and drying outdoors is both eco-friendly and will save you money.
3
Dry your laundry. If you are naturally drying your laundry outdoors, bravo! Simply check on it every few hours. If you are using an automatic dryer you will need to clean the lint filter, add a dryer sheet or two (if desired) and select your drying cycle. Start up the machine and return when it is done.
Just like you carefully selected a wash cycle, carefully select a dry cycle that is appropriate for your clothes.
Higher heat and a rougher tumble get the job done faster, but are harder on clothes.
Part Three of Four:
Storing Your Clothes
1
Remove clothes from the dryer ASAP.If you used an automatic dryer it is important to remove clothes from the dryer immediately. If you dried your clothes naturally there is less of a rush, but you shouldn't leave them out longer than necessary either.
Leaving clothes in the dryer for too long can cause them to wrinkle.
Clothes are much easier to hang and fold wrinkle-free when they are freshly dried.
2
Hang nicer clothes. You'll want to get nice shirts, dresses, trousers, sweaters, and any other hanging clothes on a hanger and onto the rack. Be sure to use an appropriately sized hanger.
If you spot creases in your garments, try smoothing them out by hand. If the clothes are still warm this will often be successful.
