SCHEMES TO MAKE LAUNDRY EASY

Here are some schemes to make our clothes get clean in a magnificent way and to get the best results

To keep colors from fading:�

                 Wash your clothes and kitchen towels separately because once released into the water, dirt particles risk dulling your colours and even turning your bright whites a dingy yellow.

To wash effectively:�

                  Make sure to properly balance the load. If you add too many heavy items, they won’t be able to move freely in the washing machine and will not get thoroughly washed.

To keep clothes from losing their shape: 

                 Close zippers and do up any buttons before washing.

To keep clothes looking great: 

                 Use the short or delicate cycle for fine fabrics, knits and lingerie. For the delicate cycle, always set the water to the highest level, no matter how few items you are washing. The clothes need to float in the water to be protected from damage.

To prevent wrinkles: 

                  Use the permanent press setting for delicate fabrics. It gradually adds cold water during the rinse cycle, which keeps wrinkles from forming.

To protect your dedicates:�

                 Place delicates in a mesh laundry bag or pillowcase before washing.

To thoroughly wash large items: 

                For comforters, duvets and pillows, add two or three clean tennis balls to the washing machine (and dryer). They will help keep the stuffing in place.

To prevent damage to fabrics: 

                  You should never set your dryer to the highest temperature, because the intense heat will “cook” on stains and damage fabrics.

To freshen up your clothes: 

                  Use the cold air (no heat) cycle. You can also add a natural fabric refresher to get rid of bad odours.

To keep the sun from fading your colors:�

                 If you use a clothesline, hang your coloured clothing inside out and in the shade.

To make your fabrics soft and supple: 

                Softeners can be used on all fabrics, will keep wrinkles from forming and reduce static cling. Replace conventional dryer sheets with reusable dryer clothes for less static and less waste.

To keep from losing socks:�

                  Washing machines are notorious for eating socks! Mesh laundry bags are an excellent way to keep them from disappearing.

To keep dark fabrics looking their best: 

                  Keep dark fabrics from fading, wash them inside out in cold water and air-dry.

To get rid of oil/grease stains: 

                   The laundry stain remover is tough on stains. Rub into the fabric and let act for a few hours, then wash the item as usual.

For better drying: 

                Jeans and towels still damp after a drying cycle? Shake them vigorously before putting them in the dryer. They will be softer and dryer at the end of the cycle.

To avoid bleeding of dark colors:

                     The best way to avoid bleeding of dark colors is to use cold water which saves energy consumption too.
