Laundry Tips for College Students

9 essential washing tips to keep your wardrobe fresh all semester long!

  • Have a set ‘laundry day’
  • Sort your laundry
  • Read the care labels carefully – washing at the correct temperatures will prevent shrinkage or damage
  • Treat stains immediately – the longer you leave the stain, the harder it will be to remove completely in the laundry
  • Don’t overload the washing machine
  • Turn clothes inside out – this helps clothes to fade less, particularly T-shirts
  • Swap liquid detergent to ‘pods’
  • Wash at a low temperature – this will ensure that your clothes are clean and reduce the risk of clothes fading or shrinking in the wash. Plus, it’s more cost-effective and good for the environment.
  • Unload the washer/dryer straight away – this helps clothes to fade less, particularly T-shirts
