According to consumer experts, most laundry detergents contain bleach to keep clothes clean, but this can cause colors to fade over time. Therefore, it is better to use liquid detergent for dark clothes. It is not usually bleached, so you can keep colors and dark clothes vibrant.
Wash after use
Experts say you shouldn’t wear and wash clothes at the same time unless you work in a hot environment, sweat a lot, or work in a dusty environment.
Certain items of clothing such as jeans, shirts, skirts… require wearing them more than once. If a shirt isn’t dirty or smells bad after wearing it in the morning, it’s a good idea to put it on a second time and run it through the machine.
You should only wash your jeans when absolutely necessary. Instead, wash your pants with mild soap and water.
Doing too much laundry can leave you running the machine every day, even multiple times a day, saving you money on electricity, washers and dryers.
Use a tumble dryer
Whenever possible, clothes should be hung out to dry rather than put in the dryer, experts say. In addition, for some fabric elements, for example Lycra fabric, it is better not to dry the sequins, because at high temperatures they can wrinkle, curl… Bras can also warp and lose their shape.
Do not wash the washing machine regularly
