laundry tips and tricks

  • Clean your laundry appliances, removing all the lint from the dryer on a regular basis will prevent overheating and running your washing machine with just detergent to removing any leftover dirt will go a long way when it comes to maintaining your appliances.

  • Always check your clothes pockets prior to washing not only will you catch the dreaded tissues but you may find other items such as car keys that you definitely don’t want going through the wash.

  • For any pet bedding head over to your local laundromat, they are going to have industrial sized washing machines and this prevents left over pet hair left in the washing machine.

  • Pre-treat those stubborn stains give your washing machine a helping hand by simply spraying a prewash stain remover before washing. Ensure that stain is gone before you pop it in the dryer or the heat can set the stain.

  • Help get rid of odours by adding ½ cup of baking soda to the wash cycle or and ½ cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle. If you have the time you can pre-soak with the baking soda method instead.

Too often are we caught out by throwing everything in the same wash cycle and forget the most important washing rule, to read the washing label! Keep an eye out for clothes that are dry clean only or hand wash only as they won’t appreciate being popped in a washing machine. You’ll find that with this technique your favourite clothes will stand the test of time.
