How to Sort and Wash Your Laundry
2
Towels Tea Towels
If you have bought brand new towels, wash them
separately first with a 1/2 cup of salt to ensure
they keep their colour and dont stain your
others towels. Using a cup of white vinegar as a
fabric softener will keep them from going stiff
when hung out in the sun. As nice and fluffy as
towels seem in the dryer, they take a very long
time to dry.

Whites Clothes
White clothing should always be kept separate
from coloured clothing to prevent your whites
from going grey and dull. Wash in cold water on
a long cycle with a cup of white vinegar. Always
hang your whites out of the sun to prevent
yellowing and take off the line as soon as they
are dry.
4
Delicates / Lingerie
Delicate fabrics, hosiery, bras, undies and any
lingerie should ideally be hand washed. To hand
wash, fill a tub with lukewarm water and use a
gentle soap to wash any obvious grotty spots.
Rinse well with fresh cold clean water and hang
to dry.
5
Woollens
Always wash your woollens in cold water with a
wool wash. Woollens need to be washed on the
woollens setting if you machine has one, or
delicate if it does not. As soon as your machine
is finished, remove your woollens and lay them
out flat on a clean dry towel in an airy place
out of direct sunlight to dry.

Colours Cloths
Look over the clothing first to check for any
obvious stains (especially if you are washing
childrens clothing) and give a good spray with
stain remover just before placing into the
machine. Hang out of direct sunlight if you can
or remove them from the sun as soon as they are
dry to prevent fading etc.
7
Sheets/Bedding
Bedding should be washed weekly in hot to very
hot water. Hot water ensures you kill off any
dust mites that will have accumulated in the
bedding over the week. Latex pillows can be
machine washed when required. Try to only wash
them twice yearly and hang them in direct
sunlight until totally dry.
