To begin, classify the clothes to be washed, separating them by colors: white or light-colored garments on one side and black or dark garments (navy blue, gray) on the other. It is important to follow this step because in addition to keeping your white clothes in better condition, you will be able to regulate the temperature of the water and prevent any piece from fading and damaging the rest.

Never put a colored garment in the laundry new that it has not been washed before as there is a high probability that it will fade. It is always advisable to wash these clothes by hand and separately from the rest. If you notice that they are fading too much, repeat the process as many times as necessary until they stop fading.

You should probably leave the latter soaking for a few hours in hot water with some stain-removing detergent to soften the dirt and make the washing machine more effective.

When sorting the clothes to be washed, turn those garments that you want to take the most care of, for example, jeans, a sweatshirt and even delicate garments, upside down in order to protect the outer layer from the friction of the washing machine.
