I'm a 13 year old and I need to make sure I'm doing it right.
No one else in the house has time to show me.
THanksHow do you wash laundry?
Sort colors.
Wash whites separate from the blues, reds, etc. Keep bright colors together and darker colors together.
Add the soap to the drum, then add the clothes and start your cycle. Use cold water unles syou are washing whites.
If you use a front loader, add the soap to the dispenser after you put the clothes in the drum and choose a normal cycleHow do you wash laundry?
it depends on if the clothes you're going to wash are new or have been washed many times.
For me, it's less of an expense if the things have been washed many times because I just throw all of them into the washer (doesn't matter if they are towels, underwear, shirts, slacks, etc.). If they are old then the colors won't run. I use ';tide'; and you pour one capful of the tide into the washer that has fully filled with water. ';Then'; stuff the clothes in there (make sure all are covered with water), turn it to permaprest and let it wash. .....sometimes people will wash only towels and sheets (and sometimes underwear) and use hot water in there instead of permaprest. Bras and girdles and laungerie are handwashed (never put into the dryer) because of the latex and acetate they have in them.
From time to time you'll make a mistake and ruin something but that's all in the learning process, don't feel bad about it.
Sometimes you'll have something new that's a bright color and they should be (in my opinon) handwashed until after so many washings no dye comes out anymore . That could be like reds, greens, denim blues, denim blacks. Or, if you're allowed to waste some water then you can do EACH COLOR by themself (like only red colors in the wash...another time do all the denim blues in another...all the denim blacks in another wash load). It seems to me that now that we have inexpensive clothes coming from overseas the dye leaks a lot more than it used to from the clothes and if you forget to sort those out before washing then ALL the clothes you wash with them will be that same color, like all will turn out red if you put in something red).
Delicates like silks, nice dresses and blouses, slips, bras, negliges and laungerie (the light feeling materials) should be ';hand washed'; in ';Woolite'; in the sink and drip dried (later the dresses and blouses and sliks could be lightly touched up with a just warm iron only (otherwise they will be ruined).
I just bulid a simple webpage with images
It needs a little improvment but here is
sort the whites out then you have got light colours then you have got darks then you have got cottons with cottons i mean towels/jeans put them in to wash together they go on at 60 degrees and the others that i mentioned go on at 40 degrees. all woolen items go in together i always put them on at 30 degrees to be extra careful they dont shrink. I really hopes this helps anything else you need help with then you can e-mail me and i will me more then glad to help you.
