MAIN RULES TO FOLLOW BEFORE WASHING

Using too little detergent can lead to poor cleaning results. Overdosing the detergent, it can leave residues in the rinse, it is not economical, produces excess foam and does not improve the quality of the wash, in addition to not respecting the environment. It is important to know if you live in an area with hard, medium or soft water, as this determines the dosage of the detergent. Choose the appropriate cycle according to the type of clothing. Drying clothes in direct sunlight weighs down the clothes. Do not "test" to remove the most stubborn stains, use specific stain removers or take them to the dry cleaner. Use a fabric softener to protect the fibers of your fabrics, increasing the life of your garments and facilitating ironing. To wash denim garments, jeans, which discolour naturally, wash them separately or with garments of a similar color. Always wash them inside out. Overloading the washing machine can cause poor washing, damage your clothes, and form permanent wrinkles in synthetic garments. The drum should be almost full, for most fabrics. Except in the case of wool that can be washed in a washing machine, considering two or three garments a full load.

General advice

Both spinning and exposing clothes to the sun to dry them tend to weigh down the fabrics. If the garment has interfacing or lining, do not wet it, it must be dry cleaned (at the dry cleaner) to prevent it from deforming. You have to dilute the soap well, to avoid stains on clothes. Use neutral soaps (usually liquid) to wash delicate items. Bleach wears down the fibers of the clothes, damaging them sooner. It is preferable to use bleaches.
