How do I do laundry?

Question

I am on my own and away from my parents. Is there a proper way to do laundry or can I just put them all in the same load?

SEPERATE!!! especially delicates and normals, lights and darks. look on the clothes' tags if you're not sure where to put them.

Answer 2

Separate your whites and put in the washer, read the measurement on your laundry soap box and also the temperature of the water. Then do the same for dark colored clothes. I always wash my dark clothes in cold water so they do not fade.
The rest like the whites in warm water and light colored clothes in warm wash too. Remember to always rinse in cold water it gets the soap out better. If you use downey add it to your rinse water but the newer washers have a cup that says add detergent here and one for the bleach and a cup for the softner like downey. If you use downey sheets or bounce you put them in the dryer with your clothes. Good Luck!

White clothes with white and hot or warm water. Cold water for
wash & wear , permanent press etc. Sheets & towels in hot
water. Don't forget the fabric softner. Put that in the last rinse if
you don't have a dispenser.(at top of agitator) .

Answer 4

lights together, darks together, you can wash everything cold and dry on a moderate setting, treat spots before you put things in the washer, always rinse anything with blood on it in very cold water before putting in the wash , you can also add peroxide to the cold water if its not a brightly colored item. when the dryer is done hang them up right away and you wont need to iron much of anything. dont put sweaters on hangers fold them and put on shelves or in drawers or hang over the bar of the hanger , like you would pants.

Answer 5

Seperate your whites from your colors. When washing your whites before you put soap/bleach in let it fill up with water. Then put your soap/bleach in. let them soak for about ten minutes after going through the first cycle before continuing. When you wash your whites like this they will stay white and remove stains no matter what brand you use. Wash your colors the same, but use cold rinse cycle or color will fade.

Answer 6

you have to separate your clothes! whites with whites, colors with colors. do not mix them up. you will need liquid detergent like gain, chlorox for whites and chlorox for colors, and fabric softener like snuggle. load colors into washer once it starts add the liquid detergent. when the washer gets to the rinse cycle put in the fabric softener, and then wait a couple minutes and that load is done. put that load of clothes in the drier. for you whites you will do the same except you will add chlorox after a minute or two after the liquid detergent. good luck!!any more help ask your mom!!

Answer 7

No,you can't put them in one load unless you want you light colors to pick up the colors from the other clothes. Separate them into piles. One for bright colors,one for whites,one for darks,one for towels,one for gentle cycle.Then check tags to see if anything is dry clean only. Do the colored clothes ,the gentle clothes,and the dark colors in cooler water.Do the whites and towels in warmer water.Good luck to you.

Answer 8

read your tags!!!! wash them the way they are supposed to be washed or you will be buying new clothes sooner than you expect!!

don't mix any dark color with your whites or your whites won't be white any more and if you don't favor pocket fulls of lint do your towels and socks separate from all others!

Answer 9
