Stuffing the washing machine too full can prevent clothes from moving freely, leading to less effective cleaning and even potential damage to the machine. Always leave enough space for the clothes to tumble freely.
Mistake 4: Using Bleach Excessively
Bleach can be harsh on fabrics and makes them less durable over time. Instead of relying on bleach to whiten clothes, try adding a few drops of lemon juice to the wash cycle or use natural whitening agents like baking soda for a gentler approach.
Mistake 5: Not Washing Clothes Inside Out
Washing clothes inside out protects the outer fabric from wear and tear. It also helps preserve prints, logos, and any embellishments, ensuring that your clothes stay looking new for longer.
Mistake 6: Forgetting to Clean the Washer
Your washing machine needs a good cleaning too! Over time, detergent residue and lint can build up inside, affecting its performance and leaving a musty smell on clothes. Clean the drum and filter regularly to ensure your machine runs efficiently.
Mistake 7: Leaving Wet Clothes in the Washer Too Long
Leaving wet clothes in the washer for too long can lead to unpleasant odors and mildew. Always remove laundry promptly after the cycle finishes and dry it immediately to avoid musty smells.
