How to Wash Your Clothes Like a Professional Laundry Company
With the average American family spending $1,800 annually on clothes, it's a good idea to take care of and wash them properly. This video demonstrates how to wash clothes like a laundry company. The first thing to do is to sort the clothes into lights and darks.
Set aside any delicate fabrics as well since they'll need a lower temperature and gentler detergent. For help with sorting, the care labels on clothes offer guides on how best to wash and iron. For example, don't use the washing machine if the fabric requires a dry clean.
Further prepare the clothes by emptying the pockets. Turn embellished clothes, jeans, and bright-colored clothing inside out. That way, the embellishments don't get snagged, and the jeans and bright clothing retain more of their color. Next, add the suitable detergent for the type of fabric to be washed and choose the right wash setting. The normal setting will work for most clothes but check the care labels as some clothes may require cooler temperatures. Also, be wary of overheating, which can cause shrinkage. High spin cycles also can be rougher on the clothes. Lastly, dry your clothes as per the care label.
