Can I wash all my clothes together?

  You should sort your garments before washing to prevent discoloration and wear and to ensure that your clothes get thoroughly clean. Different colors, materials, and washing temperatures require different treatment. Mixing everything together can cause light-colored clothes to turn gray, colors to bleed, or delicate garments to become damaged. Learn how to sort clothes in our simple guide:

1. Sorting by color

• Dark colors: Wash dark clothes (such as black, dark blue, and dark red) together to prevent the colors from fading or transferring to lighter garments.

• Light colors: Wash light-colored clothes (such as beige and pastels) separately to avoid discoloration.

• Red and brightly colored clothes: These garments may bleed, especially if they are new, so it is best to wash them separately the first few times.

• White should ALWAYS be washed only with other white clothes.

2. Material

• Cotton, synthetics, wool, and silk: These materials should be washed according to specific instructions. For example, cotton can withstand higher temperatures, while wool and silk should be washed gently and in cold water.

• Heavy and lightweight garments**: Heavy garments such as jeans or towels can damage or wear down lighter and more delicate garments if washed together.

Turn garments with zippers, buttons, and anything else "sharp" inside out to prevent them from wearing down other garments.

3. Washing temperature

• Hot water (60 degrees): Used for towels, bed linen, and sometimes underwear.

• Cold water (20-30-40 degrees): Suitable for most garments, especially delicate materials or garments that may shrink or bleed color.

4. Detergent and fabric softener

• Use a detergent suitable for both colored and white clothes, All-purpose detergent. Avoid fabric softener, especially for sportswear and garments containing elastane, as it can damage elastane's elasticity. With All-purpose detergent, no fabric softener is needed.

Conclusion

It is possible to wash clothes together if you take color, material, and temperature into account. However, to extend the lifespan of your clothes and avoid damage or discoloration, it is best to sort the laundry into different piles according to these criteria.
