Sorting Laundry Tips

Before doing a wash, sort laundry into different piles. Generally, this divides along lines of different fabrics, different wash temperatures and different colors. Study the care labels that must by law be sewn into garments, which will tell you if a garment can be washed - or whether it should only be dry-cleaned - and, if so, at what temperature, and whether it can be bleached or tumble-dried, along with any other instructions, such as whether it should washed inside out, or whether it is better not to wash it with biological detergent.

Begin by setting aside any very dirty items, to be washed separately, as well as any items to be washed separately by hand.

Tips For More Successfully Ironing

The iron’s plate should be regularly checked to ensure there are no mineral deposits on it which can cause brown marks during ironing. The steam holes should be cleaned only when the iron cold. Scrub the holes with pipe cleaners soaked in soapy water. Next, eliminate the soapy water by turning on the iron and steam it out. For a dirty plate, gently rub the plate with a mild scrub cream cleaner.
