Washing clothes like this may get dirtier and dirtier the more you wash them, and it is also harmful to your health?

Although the clothes are washed often, are you sure that they are really washed correctly? I believe everyone has experienced the experience of dyeing, fading, and not being clean, right?

If you are planning to do this these days, you may wish to take a look at the "15 Clothes Cleaning and Maintenance Tips" brought by YOKA Jun to make the laundry day more efficient and enjoyable!

1. Dig out your pockets before washing

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, check whether the clothes are loaded before washing.

There's nothing more annoying than water getting into the USB stick/headphones and washing out the laundry all covered in shredded paper towels.

2. Clothes should be sorted and cleaned

Washing clothes of different colors and materials separately can effectively avoid staining or damage.

Do not wash light-colored ones with dark-colored ones, and do not wash cotton ones with cashmere.

3. Select the appropriate detergent

Some delicate and difficult fabrics (such as silk, cashmere, linen, etc.) require special cleaners to prolong the life of the garment.

For clothing that is exercising or sweating a lot, consider using an antibacterial laundry detergent or adding an extra laundry sanitizer to wash your clothes.

4. Stains should be pretreated

Stubborn stains such as food (e.g. ketchup, red wine, oil spots), cosmetic stains (e.g. lipstick, foundation), blood stains, and collar sweat stains cannot be thoroughly cleaned if they are thrown directly into the washing machine.

Use a special detergent (such as blood stain cleaner, collar cleaner, etc.) to rub on dirty areas, and then put it in the washing machine to double the stain removal effect.

5. The more laundry detergent you put in it, the better

It's not that the more you put in the laundry, the cleaner the laundry will be. If used in excess, it is not only difficult to rinse off, but may also cause damage to clothing and even cause skin irritation.

It is recommended to add the amount according to the product description, normally, 8~10 pieces of clothes need to be added with a washing machine with a wave wheel to add 40 grams, with a drum washing machine is 30 grams, and hand washing is 20 grams.

6. Baking soda can help remove odors

Baking soda is not only edible, but it can also come in handy when doing laundry.

Adding baking soda to the washing machine along with the washing product is effective in removing bad odors and will also keep your clothes as white as new.

7. Don't soak your clothes for too long

Soaking for too long will not remove stains better, but will cause the garment to fade, age, and sometimes smell.

Soak dirty laundry for 15 minutes and no longer than 30 minutes.

8. Don't save too much dirty laundry to wash together

Worn clothes will have sweat stains, which can easily breed bacteria, which can contaminate other clothes and cause strong odors.

Accumulating a bunch of clothes to wash together seems to save time, effort and money, but in fact it will cause too much burden on the washing machine, and it is difficult for the detergent to fully contact every thread of each piece of clothing, and it is difficult to wash the clothes thoroughly, and it will be difficult to rework.

Therefore, if you want to clean efficiently, you have to reduce the amount of laundry, and the amount of laundry to be washed at a time should not exceed about 70% of the volume of the washing machine.

9. It is best to turn over and wash dark clothes

To keep your clothes looking good and new, it's important to keep the color up.

To avoid fading of dark or denim garments, it is best to turn them over before washing.

Better odor elimination is another benefit, as the detergent can penetrate well on the side that comes into contact with the skin, taking away dirt, sweat, and odors.

10. Tie the drawstring in advance

If you leave the drawstring on your sweatpants and hoodie alone, you will be very miserable after washing your clothes.

It will wrap up all the other clothes so tightly that they can't be cleaned thoroughly, and even more annoyingly, when you finally separate all the clothes, you may find that the rope has completely slipped out of its original position and can't be put back in.

To prevent tragedy, be sure to tie the ends of the drawstring together beforehand.

11. The zipper should be closed and the button should be unfastened

The serrations of metal zippers can scratch the fabric and damage the inner walls of the washing machine; If the buckle is not unfastened, it is easy to cause the buckle to fall off or deform.

Therefore, it is recommended to close the zipper before washing and check that the buttons of the clothes are all unbuttoned.

12. Use a mesh laundry bag

When you wash your socks with your clothes, it's best to put them in your laundry bag, otherwise you might end up looking for the missing sock.

If your wife/girlfriend's clothes are washed with your own clothes, you have to put their underwear in the laundry bag as well, otherwise the shoulder straps will wrap up the clothes like a haystack in the field.

13. Remember to dry the used washing machine

Don't rush to close the lid or door of the washing machine after use, otherwise it will be too humid and easy to breed bacteria.

It is recommended that the washing machine should be completely air-dried before closing the lid after use, and the drum washing machine should wipe the water in the gasket dry.

14. Dry your clothes as soon as you wash them

In order to make efficient use of time, migrant workers like to throw their clothes into the washing machine before going out in the morning, and then dry them when they come back in the evening. But in fact, this is very unhealthy, and damp clothes can easily breed bacteria and cause secondary pollution when left in the washing machine for a long time.

If the washed clothes are placed in the washing machine for more than 1 hour, you should choose a long-term antibacterial laundry product, otherwise it is best to rewash.

15. Add ice cubes or a damp towel to combat wrinkles

In view of the fact that many people do not know or are too lazy to iron clothes, there are more and more "wrinkle-resistant" fabrics on the market. In any case, make sure that the clothes you wear when you go out in the morning are not crumpled as if they have been pressed at the bottom of the wardrobe for a long time.

If you have a dryer at home, put some ice cubes in the dryer along with wet clothes, and the steam generated will eliminate wrinkles on your clothes.

Tossing a damp cloth into the dryer for a few minutes along with a wrinkled dry garment will achieve the same effect.

The way we dress conveys a message of "who we are" to others, which means it's important to take a little time to take care of what we can.

With good laundry habits and a few tips to follow, you can keep your clothes looking their best for the life of their life.

Hurry up and wash up the dirty clothes you wore this weekend.

Seriously, the process of washing the clothes clean and drying them one by one is really super healing~
