Comments on How to Do Laundry

The part about bleach is confusing and contradictory. In the warnings section, you say to "Never add bleach to wash water while clothes are in the washer", but earlier you say that a person can add bleach after the machine has run a few minutes - with the clothing in it and fully submerged, I'll assume: "allow the machine to run for a few minutes to mix the detergent and water, then add about a cup of bleach to the washer". Which is doing what you earlier said not to do, adding bleach while clothes are in the washer. So which is it? If you *can* add bleach to a loaded washer so long as it's filled up with water, the "warning" needs to be reworded.

I have to say I do my laundry almost the exact same way, and never had a problem :) me and my mother deem this excellently done, though we do have a minor suggestion for the crazy jean wearing community. Do those seperatly, and inside out. They don't fade as much that way. It's nice :)

If you live in jeans and T-shirts, its not that big of a deal. But, if you need to wear more expensive clothing for work, you want to make them last as long as possible. Shrunken shirts and faded black slacks won't make a good impression in the professional world.

Nicely written. However laundry is not exactly half as hard as you make it out to be... i do my own laundry all the time.

texan4ever, I disagree! This article isn't 'too hard', it's thorough. If you read it, there's no chance that you will accidentally screw up your laundry. Maybe you don't care if your clothes get mixed up with your undies, but I sure do! By the way, in case you're new to eHow - there's a how-to for everything ;) 5 stars for this article!

Can I be totally honest? If I had to follow all these rules to do laundry I'd never do it! You make it way too hard. Here's what I do... I put clothes in the washer. I add soap. I turn it on. I wash. Then I dry. I don't care if I wash my undies with my jeans or my towel with my pillow case or whatever. Come on people... do you really need a how to for this?

Yep! I didn't start doing my own laundry until college. It's helpful to have these types of tips available. Great article.

Very useful article on How to Do Laundry! 5*'s :o)

very use full

I agree with kronobotz-com that hanging clothes is better.

great article, I know someone that really needs to read this, thanks 5*

This is very useful!

I recently started washing my own clothes to save money. I found hanging stuff on hangers over a shower curtain rail to dry, is better than a dryer. You'll notice that a dryer makes a hand or two full of clothing fibers to seperate from the clothes. Your clothes literally disintegrate in a tumble drier over a period of time.

Yea, I think I need to print this for my fiance...

I would like to clean a musical teddy bear. Any suggestions??
