Emma Rostron, general manager of One Less Thing, talked about the most common mistakes people make when doing laundry in the washing machine.
Do not separate objects by color. Before washing, always sort the laundry for whites, light colours, dark colours, and laundry requiring delicate washing. This will help you avoid smudging, pulling or fading.
Overloading the washing machine. Therefore, the washing quality may deteriorate and even the washing machine itself may be damaged. Fill the washing machine drum about 3/4 full so that you can get your hand between the edge of the drum and the laundry.
Use too much detergent. This can contribute to too much foaming and insufficient rinsing. Therefore, sticky foam may remain on the clothes.
Do not clean the washing machine. As a result, you may encounter mold, fungus, limescale. Wipe the cover and rubber gasket after each wash. Also, to clean your washing machine, run a wash cycle in hot water and add a glass of white vinegar or bleach.
