Tips for cleaning clothes

Secrets of sorting

Sort by color. Wash all white fabrics separately, pastel and neutral colors together, and bright and dark colors together. Be aware that white and light-colored clothing made from artificial materials may be stained by other fabrics. Make sure that the lace and decorative patterns do not fade.

Category by stain. Separate these extra dirty items from less dirty items, as cleaner items may become dirtier in the wash water. White clothing may gradually turn gray or yellow, and colors may become increasingly gray.

Consider special categories.

Not matching. You can mix small items and large items in each washing machine, so that the clothes can move more freely and the washed clothes will be cleaner.

Fabric type. Think about materials and how they are woven. Loosely woven jackets should be distinguished from fine materials and ordinary clothes, and washed on a gentle cycle.

Clothes that shed lint easily. Fleece jumpers, fleece blouses, flannels and new towels tend to attract lint to other items of clothing during washing, so wash these items separately - separately from corduroys and permanently styled items. Easy to stick to hair.

Clothes in bright colors. Fire reds, bright greens, and indigo colors tend to fade more easily than other fabrics, so it's best to wash them individually or test them before washing them with other items. To be on the safe side, don't pretreat with stain remover unless you first test the color on an inconspicuous area. Bright colors may fade over time.
