Tips for getting your laundry done right

Here are a few tips for avoiding washing disasters. They only take a moment of time to do but can save you from a huge mess.

Use a laundry bag for items that can get wrapped up in other items like bikini tops with long ties. You’ll also want to put stockings and pantyhose in the laundry bag. By doing this you will prevent them from stretching and tearing unnecessarily.

Empty all those pockets and also check that things like tissues haven’t been shoved inside shirt sleeves. Pay particular attention to children’s clothes otherwise it is likely that you will be washing rocks, crayons and who knows what else.

Also close zippers and any zelcro to prevent unnecessary snagging. Zelcro is particularly good at attracting lint and this makes it ineffective.

When washing denim, turn it inside out and close whatever zippers or buttons there are. This will prevent the colour from fading unevenly.
