1. Sort your laundry into lights and darks

There are a few reasons why sorting your laundry is important. First, it can help prevent colors from bleeding onto each other. This is especially important if you're washing new clothes for the first time.

Second, sorting your laundry can help you save money on energy costs. Laundry sorted by color will require less time in the dryer since all of the clothes will be exposed to heat for the same amount of time. This can lead to big savings over time, especially if you have a large family or do a lot of laundry.

Finally, sorting your laundry can help extend the life of your clothes. Clothes that are sorted by color will be less likely to fade over time and will stay looking new for longer.

2. Pre-treat any stains before washing

Before you wash your clothes, it's important to pretreat any stains. This will help to remove the stain and make your clothes look their best. There are a few different ways that you can pretreat stains:

Rubbing alcohol: Dab a small amount of rubbing alcohol onto the stain with a clean cloth. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wash the item as usual.
Vinegar: Mix equal parts vinegar and water, and apply it to the stain with a clean cloth. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wash the item as usual.
Detergent: Apply a small amount of laundry detergent directly to the stain. Rub it in gently, then wash the item as usual.
Baking soda: Make a paste with baking soda and water, and apply it to the stain. Let it sit for a few minutes, then brush it off and wash the item as usual.

3. Use the right amount of detergent - not too much, not too little

When doing your laundry, it's important to use the right amount of detergent - not too much, and not too little. Using too much detergent can cause your clothes to become over-sudsy, which can lead to them not getting clean.

Too little detergent can also lead to your clothes not getting clean, as well as leaving behind detergent residue. To avoid these problems, it's best to use the amount of detergent that is recommended by the manufacturer. You can usually find this information on the detergent bottle itself.

4. Check the care instructions on each garment

Before laundry, always check the care instructions on each garment. Different fabrics and materials require different laundering techniques in order to avoid damage.

For example, delicate items like silk or lace should be hand washed, while sturdier fabrics like denim can be machine washed. By taking the time to read the care label before laundry, you can help prolong the life of your clothes.

5. Hang clothes to dry whenever possible

Hang clothes to dry whenever possible after laundry. This will help them last longer and stay looking newer.

Additionally, hanging clothes allows them to retain their shape better than if they were placed in a dryer. By taking this extra step, your clothes will thank you by lasting longer and staying in better condition.

6. Fold clothes as soon as they come out of the dryer to avoid wrinkles

It's no secret that wrinkles are the enemy of any well-dressed person. Wrinkles can ruin an otherwise perfect outfit, and they can be tough to get rid of once they've set in. That's why it's important to avoid them in the first place, and one of the best ways to do that is by folding your clothes as soon as they come out of the dryer.

By folding your clothes right after they've been dried, you can help them retain their shape and avoid any unwanted wrinkles. So next time you're doing laundry, be sure to take a few extra minutes to fold your clothes while they're still warm. It'll save you a lot of time and hassle in the long run.
