It doesn’t matter if your washing machine is front-loading or top-loading, if it also includes a dryer, or if you have the latest model: there are common mistakes that you’re probably making too.
In this article, we list the 10 most common mistakes we make when doing laundry.
These mistakes can lead to terrible results: laundry that’s less clean than expected, smelly, wrinkled, or even ruined forever. In addition to listing the mistakes, we also suggest some tricks to prevent and avoid them.
1. Don’t separate your laundry
Due to lack of time or ignorance, you may end up putting a collection of different fabrics in the washing machine. This common practice ruins and ages our favorite clothes. Lint and fabric balls are just the first and most obvious signs that you’re not separating your laundry.
In addition to separating your laundry by fabric and color, also remember to read the labels and follow the instructions carefully.
2. Not treating stains before washing clothes
You can sometimes get stains on your laundry with products that are difficult to remove. A clear example is grease stains. This type of stain should be pre-treated before washing your clothes in the washing machine.
Among the most difficult stains to remove are sweat stains, which form on white laundry and become virtually permanent. To remove these stains, pre-treat them with baking soda and vinegar.
3. Overloading the washing machine
It happens more often than you might think. On the one hand, it’s believed that the more you fill the washing machine, the more water and electricity you save. Washing machines are rated according to the maximum weight they can handle for each wash cycle. Read the instructions and follow them.
4. Using the wrong amount of detergent
