Do Laundry

Steps

  1. 1Sort clothes by color and fabric type.
  2. 2Check pockets and zip zippers to prevent snags.
  3. 3Run the right cycle for each load.
  4. 4Transfer to the dryer or hang delicate items to air dry.
  5. 5Fold and put away clothes while they're still warm from the dryer.

Pro Tips

  • •Fold and put away clothes while they're still warm from the dryer to cut down on wrinkles and keep laundry from piling up.
  • •Don't overload the washer — clothes need room to agitate and get clean.
  • •Air-dry delicates and stretchy fabrics to extend their life.

Troubleshooting

  • •Clothes still dirty? Don't overload the washer and use the right water temperature.
  • •Wrinkles set in? Toss a damp cloth in the dryer and run for 10 minutes to release them.
  • •Musty smell? Leave the washer door open between loads to let it dry.
  • •Colors bleeding? Wash darks and lights separately and use cold water for bright colors.
