Use warm or hot water when needed—especially for towels, sheets, gym wear, or anything used by someone who’s been sick. Save cold water for lightly soiled clothes and colors.

🌀 4. Not Cleaning Your Washing Machine
Your washer cleans your clothes—but when was the last time you cleaned it? Detergent residue, lint, hard water deposits, and even mold can build up inside the drum, filter, and detergent drawer.
What happens:
- A dirty washer transfers grime back to your laundry
- Clothes come out smelly or not fully clean
- Bacteria and mold can grow inside the machine
✅ Fix it:
Run a monthly cleaning cycle with white vinegar or a washing machine cleaner. Don’t forget to wipe the rubber gasket, clean the filter, and leave the door open after each wash to let it air out.
🧦 5. Ignoring Fabric Care Labels
Every shirt, pair of jeans, or cozy sweater has a little tag for a reason. Washing all your clothes the same way can lead to faded colors, damaged fabrics, and trapped grime in the weave of the material.
What happens:
- Delicates get damaged
- Fabrics retain more dirt and detergent
- Clothes wear out faster
✅ Fix it:
Sort your laundry not just by color, but by fabric type and wash instructions. Trust those care labels—they’re your clothes’ way of telling you how to treat them right.
