Common Mistakes That Ruin Your Clothes
Before talking about solutions, it is essential to understand why your clothes wear out in the washing machine. Several common mistakes are at the root of these inconveniences.
Machine overload
Loading too many clothes into the drum may seem convenient , but it causes excessive friction between fabrics. The result? Your clothes get tangled, stretched, and torn more easily.
Messy storage in the drum
Throwing your clothes loosely into the machine may seem like a no-brainer, but it prevents the weight from being evenly distributed. The mixing then becomes uneven, increasing the risk of premature wear.
Neglected sorting of clothes
Washing delicate fabrics together with heavier garments, such as jeans, will cause the fabrics to wear out more quickly. Plus, items left in pockets can cause snags or damage the machine.
