Wash and wear
Separate white and colored items. If you wash your whites with colored clothes, over time they will take on a gray tinge.
Lint from light clothing also will stick like glue to your dark clothes. You'll want to sort our delicate items too.
A think nightgown can be torn to shreds by a zipper on a pair of jeans. Wash delicate items on a delicate cycle or by hand.
To make your clothes last longer, wash clothes with care.
Never overload the washing machine; clothes that are stuffed too tightly into the washer tend to rub together and cause pulling.
To prevent snags, close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
Turn pockets inside out to make sure they are empty; one ball point pen left in a pocket can ruin a whole load of clothes.
Remove wash as soon as it is done, and either hang it up to dry or put it into the dryer.
Presoaking and prewashing
If clothes need presoaking, put clothes, soap and water in the washing machine, let it stand for several minutes, then turn off the washer.
You're saving time, water, and soap by not using a seperate pre wash cycle first.
Treat stains with a prewash spray or squirt a little detergent on them.
Mix small and large items in each load to circulate and distribute the load evenly around the wash basket.
