To properly care for your clothes, always check the laundry label for specific instructions. This label provides essential information such as the recommended washing temperature, whether the item should be hand-washed or machine-washed, and if it can be tumble-dried or needs to be air-dried. Sort your laundry into different categories, such as whites, colors, and delicates. This helps prevent color bleeding and damage to more fragile fabrics. Use the appropriate detergent for each load, and avoid overloading the washing machine to ensure effective cleaning and rinsing.
