Laundry is far from our favorite chore. While it’s not exactly difficult to put clothes in the washer and add the laundry detergent, what makes it a frustrating task is that laundry can be more complicated than it sounds at first.
First of all, there’s prep work involved. Before doing laundry, it’s important to look at the tags of the clothes to make sure you’re washing them correctly. Some clothes may be dry clean only, and you should avoid accidentally tossing those in with the rest of your laundry. Other clothes may require a certain laundry setting, like the delicate cycle. And, it should go without saying that you obviously want to separate your dark laundry from your light colored laundry. Nobody wants a white t-shirt to become pink.
Yes, we have accidentally stained our laundry before while it is in the washing machine. Some fabrics do bleed onto other fabrics. Unfortunately, getting stains on laundry is not always as easy as it is removing stains from laundry. We’re talking about all types of stains – food stains, grass stains, oil stains. The list is endless. If it can stain clothes, we have probably had it show up in our laundry pile before.
We have our favorite stain remover hacks, but not all of them work all the time. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for new tips and tricks to get pesky stains out of our favorite clothes.
