Additional Tips for Protecting Clothes

Sort clothes before washing

Separating clothes by material and color prevents damage and helps maintain fabric quality. Always check pockets for metal objects that could cause wear or tear.

Soak clothes before washing

Certain fabrics, like thick cotton or knit materials, are harder to clean when stained.

  • Fill the washing machine with water.

  • Add detergent and soak the clothes for 20-30 minutes before starting the cycle.

  • This helps loosen stains, making them easier to remove.

Use rice vinegar for deeper cleaning

Rice vinegar is an effective household cleaning ingredient.

  • Fill the machine with water, add detergent, and pour in 200ml of rice vinegar.

  • Start the machine to dissolve the mixture, then turn it off and let the clothes soak for 20 minutes.

  • Resume the wash cycle as usual.

Rice vinegar helps remove stubborn stains like oil and fruit juice while eliminating lingering odors in fabrics.

By following these simple steps, you can extend the lifespan of your clothes and keep them looking fresh. Let me know if you need any changes!
