Tips on how to wash your clothes

Tips

 * Check your pockets before putting them in the washer.
 * If you're sharing an apartment or living with people you know, it sometimes helps to join in the washing. This is especially the case with reds, as many people don't have a full load of red clothes in their wardrobe.  Doing laundry together saves money and time, and lowers your impact on the environment.
 * Don't leave your clothes in your washer for more than 24 hours, they will get musty and moldy.
 * If you are using powder detergent, do not put it directly on top of the clothes. It may not rinse completely out of the clothing and it could cause discoloration.
 * Don't wash bras unbuckled because the hooks can be caught in other clothes and break or bend.
 * If hand washing clothes use a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands and skin from nasty chemicals.
 * New clothes with bright colors may have to be washed by themselves for the first few times unless you have something in a very similar color.
