Sorting the laundry correctly!
Before you can start the actual washing process, you will need to do a little bit of preparation first! It is best to sort your laundry by color and material. Light, dark, colorful – with this simple classification you can pre-sort your laundry best. Washing the same or similar colors together is a great thing to do as they will not stain each other or get discolored. Be careful with new clothes, especially those with strong colors. Before putting new clothes into the washing machine for the first time, test it with a short hand wash in the sink to avoid it staining all of your other shirts.

Putting It All Away
Always remember to remove clothes from the dryer as soon as possible to prevent wrinkles. Fold them or hang them up as soon as possible.

Unshrink clothes using baby shampoo and a towel.
Just soak the shrunken piece of clothing in lukewarm water and baby shampoo, work through to relax the fibers, and gently stretch.

Remove Stains on Delicates
For delicate fabrics or difficult stains, oxygen bleach is a staple in our stain-removing arsenal. It’s safer to use than chlorine bleach and can be used on colors.
