Making
Laundry Easier
One Load at a Time

Laundry is a chore that must be done one way or another. Unfortunately, many people may have picked up a few bad habits or cut corners when dealing with their clothes. Here are some common mistakes you can avoid to get your clothes their cleanest so they’ll make you look your best.

Our first tip is that you don’t have to do it at all. Let us do it for you! If
you still wish to do your own laundry, avoiding these mistakes will help
you get better results.

Common Laundry Mistakes

• Overloading the Washer
  This common mistake leads to poor cleaning performance, more wrinkles, and excessive wear on garments. Dirt and soil from some garments can become redeposited in others, dulling vibrant colors and giving a dingy look to whites.
•  Poor Sorting of Loads
  This can cause problems with dyes bleeding onto other garments.
• Too Low Water Temperature
  Detergents are more active in higher temperatures and will get your clothes cleaner.
• Not Sorting Drying Loads and Overloading the Dryer
  It takes longer to dry and lightweight or delicate fabrics get
  over-dried, resulting in permanent wrinkles in heat sensitive fabrics.

Drying Pointers

Drying is just as important as washing, and though many of us simply toss the wet clothing into the dryer, there are ways to improve your look and protect your wardrobe.

When it comes time to dry your next load, try following these easy steps to get less wrinkles, shorter drying times, and safer drying.

1. Sort by fiber content and weight: Heavier garments might require more heat and time than light garments. To get the most out of your machine, and your time, sort loads accordingly.
2. Do not overload the dryer: Overloading causes more wrinkles and longer drying times. It can also overburden your dryer and shorten its life.
3. Select drying temperature by fiber content: Some fibers, such as polyesters and acrylics, will be damaged by too much heat. When in doubt, it is best to dry on low heat and air dry to finish.
4. Fold or hang garments immediately after drying: This helps ward off wrinkles and keep your clothes looking fresh. This can also help
   garments dry out if there is any water remaining after the cycle.

Q- How do you remove grass stains?

A- Most grass stains can be removed by simply washing the item according to the care instructions, especially if the stain is fresh. But if the stain has been allowed to set or proves to be difficult to remove, you may need to try other treatments.

Treat the stain as soon as possible, using a pretreatment product from your local grocery store. Test the product for colorfastness by applying to an unexposed area. Let stand for five minutes, then rinse. If the color is affected, don’t use the product. Also check the label on your laundry detergent for pre-treatment instructions. To remove any last traces of the stain, an all-fabric bleach may be necessary. Again, remember to test for colorfastness. Bleach the entire garment following the manufacturer’s instructions, then launder as usual.
