Expert laundry tips that will change the way you do laundry

To optimize your laundry and make your clothes last longer, there are a few simple but effective tips from laundry experts. First, always wash at the right temperature. Many materials, such as cotton, can withstand washing at higher temperatures, but most clothes do perfectly well at, for example, 40 degrees. Second, do not use too much detergent. Use the recommended amount—too much detergent can leave residue and make clothes stiff. Use an all-purpose detergent so you do not have to buy different products for white and colored laundry, and you can avoid using fabric softener. Finally, try to reduce your use of the tumble dryer. Air-drying is both gentler on clothes and saves energy.

By making these small changes, you can improve the quality of your laundry and contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle.
