Cue panic and frantically rubbing the stain with a variety of detergents. Rubbing a stain too much actually makes it worse, as it could wear away the fabric or spread it around. As soon as you notice a stain, rinse in cold water and dab gently with a stain remover or neat laundry liquid for best results.<br \/>\n<strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-731 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/laundryheapcom.files.wordpress.com\/2018\/02\/treating-stains-incorrectly.jpg?resize=315%2C210\" alt=\"treating stains incorrectly\" width=\"315\" height=\"210\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">\u00a0DETERGENT MEASUREMENTS<\/span> <\/strong><span style=\"color: #999999;\">\u2013 using too much detergent can cause excess soap suds to get caught in the fabric, which eventually leads to a build-up of bacteria. Yuck! How much detergent you use depends on the water hardness in your area \u2013 if your water is hard, use more than the box says, but if it\u2019s soft, <\/span><span style=\"color: var(--color-neutral-600);\">use less<\/span><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\">.

Instead of squashing it all into one wash, split it up into two or more. Overloading doesn\u2019t just damage the inside of the machine, it also means your clothes don\u2019t wash properly and come out with creases.<\/span><\/span><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-730 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/laundryheapcom.files.wordpress.com\/2018\/02\/overfilling-the-machine.jpg?resize=310%2C207\" alt=\"overfilling the machine\" width=\"310\" height=\"207\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>FORGETTING ABOUT FA<span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">STENINGS <\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">\u2013 wa<\/span>shing clothes can become complicated when it comes to accommodating the many types of zips, buttons and other fastenings. Of course, these items can be washed normally, but it\u2019s only a problem when you forget to do them up before washing. Zip up jeans and skirts before washing \u2013 they can snag more delicate items in the same wash. However, don\u2019t button up shirts as they can pop open.<\/span><\/span><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-728 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/laundryheapcom.files.wordpress.com\/2018\/02\/forgetting-about-fastenings.jpg?resize=313%2C208\" alt=\"forgetting about fastenings\" width=\"313\" height=\"208\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>LEAVING GAPS BETWEEN LOADS <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">\u2013 it<\/span> may seem like a false economy to do multiple loads of washing back-to-back, but that couldn\u2019t be more wrong.
