Always keep your dirty laundry in a cool and dry place – in wicker baskets or in fabric bags, but don’t store them in your bedroom. They should be protected from moisture, because they will get stained with mold which is quite difficult to clean and, the worse thing is that your clothes get torn on the stained places.
An important rule when doing your laundry is to sort your clothes. The white ones should be washed separately from the others. Or, clothes that are dirtier than usual, they must be also washed separately from the others.
If you have stains on the clothes, you should first remove the stains and then you can put the clothes in the washing machine together with the rest. After you wash the white clothes, you can soak them in bleach for a while. And of the rest of the clothes, after you wash them, you can soak them in salty water, so they won’t lose from their colours.
When washing your curtains, first wet them with cold water several times, then you can hand-wash them in hot soap water and change the water 2-3 times. At the end wash the curtains again with cold water.
It’s good to know that hot water damages woollen clothes. You don’t have to soak the clothes in water in advance. When washing them, don’t rub the wool the way you do with the other clothes. The same applies to clothes made from natural or artificial silk.
For clothes made from synthetic material you should not use hot water, or hot iron. They should be washed in soap water with a maximum temperature of 25-30 degrees.
If you have chewing gum on one of your dresses, you just need to take one ice cube and press it on the gum until the latter hardens. After that carefully remove the gum from the dress and wet the spotted area with some spirit. After that wash the dress.
