Do you know that one of the reasons clothes can look seasoned is because you might be washing it incorrectly?

If you can give some extra care into how you wash and dry clothes, it can actually help extend their life spans. Here are some laundry tips on how to keep clothes looking new ✨

1. Choose the Right Washer Setting

Most clothes should be washed in a machine’s least-harsh setting. Depending on your washer, this can be labeled as gentle or delicate.

Using a gentle cycle will help eliminate most of the wear and tear washers can inflict, especially for delicate fibers.

More durable fabrics like denim can be washed on a normal setting. 💫

2. Use Laundry Mesh Bags

If your washing machine does not have a gentle setting, you can still keep your clothes looking new by using a mesh laundry bag. This will help to protect your garment from any damage.

Put your clothes inside the mesh bag before throwing them in the washer. This way, you don’t need to worry about any rips, snags, or tangles.

3. Wash Clothes Inside Out

You may also try to turn all your clothes inside-out before putting them in the washer. A single spin cycle can put a lot of wear and tear on clothing. It is better to have the inside of your clothes take the brunt of damage rather than the display side.

Also, if you are washing something with beans, buttons, and sequins, washing inside-out can help prevent them from coming loose or falling off. 👌🏻

4. Wash in Cold Water

Hot water wears out most fabrics quickly. Save it for soiled loads, such as sports uniforms, dirty sheets, and gardening clothes. Wash everything else in cold water. Even if a clothing label says wash in hot water, washing in cold won’t ruin it. It will be just as clean, and the threads will remain intact and keep its strength. ❄️

5. Choose the Right Detergent

Using the best detergent can definitely help keep clothes looking new. However, not all laundry detergents are the same. Some are specifically made for delicate fabrics and can prevent shrinkage and discoloration. It is also researched that powdered detergents are way harsher on clothes, so it is preferable to use the liquid type.

You may also opt for detergents that are made with plant-based materials that are gentle for your clothes.

Pro Tip : Remember to always read the clothing label carefully, so here I shared a guide on what the labels on your clothes mean. 📝
