Washing Machine Tips and Tricks For Laundry Day:

• Ready the Clothes Beforehand

Readying the clothes before washing is much like getting ready for the party. You cannot just put everything on and go about it. You have to carefully choose what goes, ready it up, and then do your thing. As far as doing your laundry is concerned, readying your clothes means removing the buckles and pins, undoing the zips, inverting the clothes, and checking the pockets for something that can get damaged, or can damage the washing machine.

• Heavy and Light Clothes

Even though you might be thinking what is the distinction between “heavy and light clothes”, this is more about the time that the clothes spend in the machine. Lighter clothes can get cleaned faster, while heavier clothes may need more time for thorough cleaning. Mixing them up may cause issues like lighter clothes wearing out faster, while heavier clothes not getting properly cleaned.

• Remove the Stain First

You might be going like “duh! If we remove the stain ourselves, what is the machine for?” But some stains are more stubborn than others and may not go away no matter how powerful your 10 kg semi-automatic washing machine is. The best way to clean these clothes is to take the stain out first and then soak in the washer, not only will that completely remove the stain, but that also means that your clothes will have to spend lesser time in the machine.

• Use Chemical Free Softeners

Some people like to use fabric softeners in their washing machines because they give a nice soft touch to the clothes. However, it is advised to completely avoid any chemical-based softeners. They can cause allergies, sensitivity, and often leave a build-up inside the machine. Instead, use chemical-free or DIY fabric softeners.

• Separate Light And Dark Clothes

Even though this is obvious to many out there, it still needs to be said; separate your light coloured clothes from your dark coloured clothes. This ensures that your clothes look the same way coming out as they did when they went in.

• Keep the Machine Clean

Always, always, keep the machine cleaned. Not only will that keep the machine running for longer, but it will also avoid any mold or mildew from forming inside the machine. All of this will eventually become a bad hazard for your health and that of your clothes’ as well.

 Dreading the laundry day is now a thing of the past. Learn these tips and tricks and master the art of washing clothes without having to fear the machine ever.
