Fun fact: Because modern detergents contain fewer phosphates than they used to, washing regularly is even more important for freshness.

Smart Laundry Habits You Should Follow

Sort properly: Separate colors, heavy fabrics, and delicates.

Don’t overstuff the machine: Clothes need space to get truly clean.

Choose the right water temperature: Cold for delicates, hot for removing stains or germs.

Pick the right detergent: Tailor your choice to fabric type.

Clean your washer: Use a laundry sanitizer occasionally to kill lingering bacteria.

The Right Balance
Laundry is all about balance. Under-washing can leave behind body oils, bacteria, and odors. Over-washing can wear out your clothes faster.
