Keep it loose
Cramming the washer full of clothes may seem like a good way to get the laundry done in a hurry, but it is bad for your clothing and linens. First, they don’t get as clean, and secondly, they rub together so much there is actual harm to the finish of your clothes. Your things will wear out prematurely, you end up with “pilling,” and your sheets, towels, t-shirts looking oddly gray and dingy. It’s much better to lighten the load and give your items a chance to wash properly.

Dryer sheet rescue
Don’t throw away that box of laundry softener sheets since you are no longer using them in the laundry. When you have an impossible-to-clean casserole dish or pot, toss one or two of the used sheets into the pan, fill with hot water, and presto! in 20 minutes it wipes clean, no scrubbing needed.

Unshrink wool
Mix a solution of one-gallon lukewarm water and two tablespoons baby (no tears) shampoo. Soak the shrunken garment for about ten minutes. Don’t rinse! Simply blot out all the excess water with a dry towel and very gently lay it flat on a fresh towel.

Get Your Ironing Board Straight
Before you start ironing, you have to make sure that your board is standing flat and even. It should have a clean, tightly wrapped cover. Even just a small bump in your board can cause creases.

Don’t Go Overboard With Detergent
Believe it or not, more detergent does not equal cleaner laundry. In fact, using too much detergent can leave a residue on clothes, making them feel stiff and scratchy, and causing them to dull in color. All of this ages clothes more quickly than they need to, as well.

Pre-Treat Stains
If you stain a favorite item, the best chance it has at recovery is with pre-treatment. Drench the problem area in detergent or stain remover and let it sink in before washing. You can also soak the item in cold water before the cycle, which will ease out the stain.

Wash Your Darks Inside Out
To keep your dark clothes vibrantly dark, turn them inside out before you put them in the washing machine. This simple trick will help combat the fading that can happen when you wash blacks, navies, and forest greens because it prevents the fabric surfaces from rubbing against each other. Sure, the interior side might experience some color erosion, but the exterior will remain protected.

Skip The Dry Cleaning
Though plenty of clothing tags read “Dry Clean Only,” you needn’t always abide by these instructions. Dry cleaning, which employs a chemical solvent to launder the surface of clothing, can actually deteriorate fabrics.
Materials like linen, wool, and silk are all totally safe to get wet, and typically fare well in a delicate or express cycle (you can put them in a mesh bag to reduce abrasion).

Choose A Shorter Cycle
As long as your beloved items aren’t terribly soiled, a shorter cycle is usually the wisest choice. Whether they’re delicate (in which case you definitely need the gentlest cycle) or not, if you can minimize the number of times your stuff spins around in the wash, you’ll be adding longevity.

Use Cold Water When Possible
Cold water is a good friend to your laundry: It tends to be far less abrasive on fabrics than super-hot water, which can cause shrinking and stretching. It is also especially kind to darks and bright colors since hot water has the ability to fade.

Wash Bright Colors With Salt
You can use salt to prevent colors from fading. Just toss a teaspoon of salt in with your dark clothes to help make the color last longer. Washing colored clothing inside out can also help maintain color.
