Rules to Washing & Folding Clothes

Doing laundry is more like a combination of tasks. You need to collect dirty clothes, sort them, load to the machine, dry, and then fold. And since it is ongoing, you are never done. Understandably, some people opt to outsource washing and folding services.However, there are a few rules to make the work ABC easy.

The Essence of Preparation

If you do decide to do your laundry, you need to make the process as seamless and convenient as possible. As such, you need to invest time in preparing the load. Once you have all the following things sorted, the rest of the steps are easy.

 1.  Know Your Order 

Sorting clothes goes beyond separating dark and light colors; categorize them according to;

• Type of dirt
• The extent of a stain
• Material
• Size

Items like bed sheets tangle when the machine is crowded, and this can lead to damage, and socks tend to get lost. These should be washed individually.

When loading button-down and zipped pieces, ensure the buttons are open, and the zip is tightened. Loose zips can tag other items while buttoning clothes damages buttonholes and breaks the buttons.

The next step is folding, and it is best to do immediately after drying your laundry. It is not only easier to fold them when warm, but it is also advisable to complete the wash and folding process in one go.

Also, embrace the convenience tools and wrinkle sprays that ease the task. However, before you use any of them, you should understand the fabric. If you have clothes that are fold-resistant, it is best to use hangers and hooks instead.

2.  Designate the Hassle
