Useful advices to get your laundry ready for washing machine

In this article, we will offer some very useful tips for preparing your laundry for machine washing.

First, it is worth noting that the best and most convenient time to apply these tips is the moment you take off a garment—before placing it into the hamper, basket, or container where you keep your dirty laundry. By doing this, you can complete these steps in just a few seconds; within a few weeks, these actions will become automatic, and you won’t even need to think about them—you’ll simply do them as a matter of course.
Of course, you could also perform these steps right before putting the entire load into the washing machine, but it becomes a more tedious task. Furthermore, you likely won’t be as thorough as you would be if you handled each item individually, day by day—when dealing with a large pile of laundry, it is very easy to overlook something.
Always ensure that your dirty laundry is completely dry before putting it away. If it is damp or wet, let it dry first; otherwise, when it’s piled up with the rest of your laundry, it can develop mold—which is unhygienic, can spread to other items, and creates a very unpleasant odor that is often difficult to remove, especially if the clothes sit for a long time before being washed.
Always check the pockets of every garment to remove any objects—papers, money, or other items—that might be inside. These can interfere with the washing process and, in the case of solid objects, could even damage your washing machine.
It is highly recommended—especially for garments with prints, designs, or logos—to place them in the hamper inside out. This helps preserve the designs you love, ensuring they last longer. Furthermore, if you dry your clothes in the sun, the visible parts of your garments will retain their original color for much longer; while the sun is highly effective for drying laundry, it has the drawback of fading—or «burning»—the color.
Although perhaps less critical, it is also worth separating white items from colored ones. Doing so will save you time on laundry day and help prevent oversights or mistakes that could ruin the brightness of your white garments.

We hope this information proves useful and helps you achieve better results when machine-washing your clothes.
