All about Doing Laundry

Doing laundry means sorting clothes by colour, using the right amount of detergent and checking the care label. Hanging clothes to dry helps them last longer.

Washing machines use water and spinning to clean clothes.

Dark and light clothes should be washed separately so that colours do not run. Check the care labels on clothes before washing.

Once the wash is finished, hang clothes to dry or put them in the dryer as the label allows. Folding and storing clean clothes neatly makes them easy to find and keeps them in good condition.
