Machine washable clothes- Clothes should always be washed separately in the washing machine. Wash winter woolen clothes separately. Thick jeans and pants can be washed together in the machine. You should wash all the towels in the house together. If the towel is mixed with clothes, its threads and lint stick to other clothes. Similarly, wash colored clothes which do not leave color separately. If the clothes are very soft then wash them on light mode. Home bedsheets and pillow covers should be washed separately. Black clothes should always be washed together. While washing black clothes, use only liquid soap in the machine. Detergent powder leaves marks on black clothes. Do not wash white clothes with any other colored clothes.

Hand wash clothes- If some of your clothes leave color then they should be washed by hand and completely separately. It is better if you wash white clothes by hand. Office clothes are not very dirty, so wash them only by hand. Soft cotton tops, Lenin shirts should always be hand washed. Light work suits and kurtas should also be hand washed. If you want, you can hand wash black clothes also. Washing clothes by hand maintains their shine. Due to this the color of the clothes does not fade quickly.

Dry clean clothes- For this, check the tag given on your clothes once before washing it. Most of the dry clean clothes have ‘Dry Clean Only’ written on them, such clothes can get spoiled by washing them at home. If you get sarees, work suits, coats, shawls or winter jackets dry cleaned, their shine will remain and the cloth will also not get spoiled. If there is a stain on any cloth which seems difficult to remove, then get it dry cleaned. Dry cleaning significantly increases the life of clothes.
