Organizing Laundry for Washing
Hello, today we're going to be talking about washing your colored clothes. I'm going to share with you all the secrets you need to know on how to wash your colored clothes. So the first thing I like to do is I like to collect my clothes. What does that mean? Well, In an ideal world, you have your hamper and everything that you've worn and that is dirty, goes straight into the hamper. Ideally, yes, that's great but realistically there's going to be clothes all over the house. Husband comes home, sits on the couch, takes off the socks; they're still there. Or maybe you're at the computer and take off your shirt, so there's something there. So, what you want to do, is you want to get yourself on a scavenger hunt around the house looking for your clothes. Look in every single room. Look in the bathroom, that's a big place where clothes are left. Even the kitchen, just look everywhere. Under things, make sure you have all your clothes that you need to wash, everything at once. Then when you're done with them, put them right into your basket or your hamper and get them ready to go. The next thing I do in preparation to washing, is I go ahead and I review my clothes. You know, you look at kind of what type of clothes is, like this is a cotton. Also, a good idea is if you live with roommates to do your clothes all at the same time and why that's important is because for things like light cotton or linens or delicates, they're usually a smaller load. What you can do is you can save on water and save on time by doing them all at the same time. I'm married, so of course I do my husband's and I's laundry at the same time but I go through and I make sure to kind of review everything and just know the kind of fabrics that I'm working for. So that is how you collect and you review your clothes.
