Laundry Tips for College Students
Take the load off those college laundry chores.
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
