How to use your washing machine correctly

Making a few choices before each wash will help you to use your washing machine in the most effective way means. These choices can save time in the long run.

Pick the right setting for doing your washing. Most fabrics can handle a regular wash but there are more delicate fabrics that will need a particularly gentle wash. There are also some heavier fabrics that may need some more robust handling. Choosing the right water temperature will also affect your wash.

Ideally, you should try to use a low washing temperature (about 40 degrees C). This temperature is enough for most lightly soiled fabrics. If you choose a higher temperature you will be using more energy. A lower temperature is a more eco-friendly way to wash. Unfortunately not everything can be washed like this, so some dirtier fabrics will need a higher temperature. A temperature of 95 degrees C is the highest you can get. This boil wash is only recommended for very dirty fabrics that can handle this temperature. Always check labels.  Before you decide to wash at this temperature you should try washing at about 60 degrees C as this temperature can still kill most bacteria.

How to use your washing machine

Using your washing machine properly will also save you a lot of badly washed clothes and linen. It’s worth taking a little extra time to get it right the first time then you won’t be wasting time, electricity and water by having to redo laundry.

Don’t try to jam too much into your washing machine. When loading your machine you will need to know what load size your machine can handle. Most washing machines are around 5-6kg. If you consider that a wool jersey can weigh up to a kilogram and a duvet cover can weigh 1.5kg this load size is quickly reached. When a washing machine is overloaded, the fabrics inside do not have proper space to move and end up having only sections getting detergent and these sections are usually not rinsed out properly either. You may even find lumps of washing powder in your supposedly washed laundry.

Use the right amount of washing detergent for the load of laundry you are washing. This may change from load to load so be sure you are using enough. You may find that if you are not using enough your whites will become yellow or grey very quickly.

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.

Washing laundry

Before you even start to do your laundry, you’ll need to get organised. Whether you are doing your laundry at home or running a laundry business, you’ll need to stick to certain guidelines to ensure that the fabrics being washed last for as long as possible. Poor washing habits can age fabrics well before their time.

First things first: Sort your stuff

Sorting laundry should not just be about sorting lights from darks. If an item is white it should only be washed with white items. Even if a fabric is beige, the dye can transfer to other fabrics leaving whites looking dull. Wherever possible try to wash similar colours together.

Washing items with similar dirt levels is also a good idea. If there are some fabrics which are very greasy and oily in your load, it is likely that this grease will spread to other fabrics that may not be so greasy. If you have some items that are really dirty, you may want to put just a few of them in the machine together and use the most detergent that you can per load, to give them the best chance of getting clean.

Where you can, it will also save time to wash similar fabrics together. This way you can wash your delicate fabrics on a gentler cycle and your more robust fabrics can get the clean they need. This will also save you lint transfer to certain fabrics.
