How many times your favorite kurta just got ruined for the stains of other fabric while washing? This is one of the common problems every household faces in the daily chores. Sometimes we don’t follow the washing instructions or don’t have the prior idea about the dye quality of new cloth and put all of them together in the washing machine. These accidents may not be avoided even after using the best quality detergent powder like Champion Blue.
To shun the incidents, you have to be careful and knowledgeable about the best sorting process. Here we will discuss more tips to get the best result of the washing.
Reasons for Common Washing Mishaps:
Here are the reasons for which washing accidents take place
- Reactive Dye: This is an unstable kind of dye that leaks colors when it comes in contact with a detergent that contains bleach or even oxygen bleach. With time, this dye fades away for washing.
- Direct Dye: Even in the cold water wash, there are some dyes that bleed out from the fabric and stick to others.
How to sort clothes for laundry?
It is maybe very time consuming to sort the garments before throwing them to the washing machine. But the time you will save by not sorting the clothes can pay you much heavier after the washing.
There are two different ways to sort the laundry.
Sorting By Color: It is the most common way of sorting the garments where you have to separate them into three groups that are white, light colors and dark colors. Even if you have only one cloth for a particular group, you never be tempted to mix it with other groups. You may have to keep that aside for later washing session. Remember, a small stain of dye can ruin your entire dress. Keep dark sheds like black, red, maroon, blue, dark purple together in the machine and light colors like pink, sky blue, and lavender separately and then add a detergent without the bleach-like Champion Matic.
Sorting By Fabric Quality: After reaching the first step to sort them with colour, now it is the turn to separate them by the category of the fabric. You have to sort in the following groups like cotton and linen, delicates and synthetic. You should not wash silk dresses with denim as they need different washing techniques and water temperature.
It is recommended to use a partitioned laundry bucket for different types of clothes so that the time of sorting will be saved.
