Washing machine: what are the common mistakes that ruin your clothes?

If the idea of ​​bottles surprised you, these additional tips will interest you:

1. Soak your clothes before washing

For thick fabrics like cotton or shirts, soaking them for 20 to 30 minutes in water with a little detergent will gently loosen dirt. This will make the wash cycle less aggressive.

2. The unsuspected power of white vinegar

Add 200 ml of white vinegar  to the machine with your usual detergent. In addition to removing stubborn stains (oil, fruit juice), it neutralizes bad odors and softens fabrics. Vinegar is a natural ally for keeping clothes bright without damaging them.

3. Preserve your colors with careful sorting

Separate light clothes from dark ones, and avoid mixing delicate fabrics with rough materials. This not only prevents discoloration, but also unnecessary friction.

Final tips for optimal washing

• Use suitable cycles: choose “delicate” programs for fragile fabrics.
• Wash at low temperature: hot water accelerates the wear of the fibers.
• Turn your clothes inside out before washing, especially jeans and printed t-shirts.
