Every housewife adheres to certain rules for caring for things.

However, many people make unforgivable mistakes when washing clothes, which literally destroy their favorite clothes.

Sort by color

Fabrics such as wool, synthetics, cotton, silk and fleece should not be washed together.

Washing items made from these fabrics will require different temperatures and process times.

Sorting only by color will do little to protect clothing from destruction.

Overweight when washing

If the permissible washing rate is exceeded, not only the service life of the machine is reduced, but also the clothes are damaged.

Buttons and zippers

Unbutton and unzip items before washing.

Buttons that are fastened are more likely to fall off, and zippers and fasteners can catch and tear other items.

Turning inside out

When washing items that are not turned inside out, they will develop pellets, lose their appearance and reduce the quality of the fabric.

If you want to keep things long-lasting, always turn them inside out.

Long drying

Most items do not need to be tumble dried.

Many items will quickly deteriorate if you constantly use the dryer cycle for regular clothes.
