Washing your clothes the right way can be your ultimate life-saver in the long run. First of all, if you do your laundry correctly, the activity of washing and folding clothes might turn into something fun. Secondly, doing laundry the right way can save you money because if done correctly, your clothes will stay with you for a long time or better, you can pass it down to someone else in your family.

Sort and categorize your clothes

Dumping all your clothes in one basket may be super-efficient, but unfortunately not the best option we got here. It is fast, but you will pay the price in faded, lackluster togs. Not to mention, stains could transfer between clothes even when they are already in the washing machine. So instead of discarding everything willy-nilly, try do this:

1. Have a basket for white clothes
2. Accordingly, have another for black clothes
3. Consider buying a mesh sock bag
4. Categorize them as you stripping off, do not wait until later
5. Flip the clothes inside out to protect the graphic in the washer

Pre-treat stains

As we have mentioned before, stains are notorious when you wash everything together. It could transfer the stains to other clothes or worse they won’t go no matter how many times you wash it. This is why it is preferable to treat stains prior to laundering them. Generally, almost all stains could be rid of by applying a small amount of detergent on top of them. Wait for a couple of minutes and then brush the stain off.

Create a laundry schedule 

Yes, there is no way out. If you want to do this correctly, you will have to set up a laundry schedule. You can assign each day for each category of clothes. And you must remember to resist washing half loads as it’s not eco friendly.
