Section 1: Sorting Your Laundry

Start by separating your laundry into different piles based on color, fabric type, and level of soiling.

Sort whites, lights, and darks to prevent color bleeding.

Consider washing delicate fabrics separately.

Section 2: Pre-Treatment

Check your clothes for stains and treat them before washing.

Use stain removers or a mixture of water and a mild detergent for pre-treatment.

Gently rub the stain, working from the outer edges towards the center to avoid spreading.

Section 3: Load the Washing Machine

Read the care labels on your garments to determine appropriate water temperature and cycle settings.

Avoid overloading the machine, as it can reduce the effectiveness of the wash.

Add detergent to the machine's designated dispenser.

Section 4: Choosing the Right Detergent

Select a high-quality detergent suitable for your machine and laundry needs.

Use less detergent for smaller loads and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for dosage.

Section 5: Selecting the Wash Cycle

Choose a wash cycle based on your clothing type: regular, delicate, or heavy-duty.

Opt for cold water for delicate and bright-colored garments to prevent fading.

Section 6: Washing Process

Start the machine and let it complete the wash cycle.

Avoid using bleach unless specifically recommended on the care label.

Section 7: Drying Your Clothes

After washing, transfer clothes to the dryer or air-dry them based on garment care labels.

Use dryer sheets or wool dryer balls to reduce static and improve softness.

Fold or hang clothes promptly to prevent wrinkles.
