Tips To Help You Prepare Before You Go To The Laundromat
When it comes time to do laundry the key is to do what you can in your apartment or house before you leave for the laundromat even if it is only a couple doors down.
Separate Your Whites and Colors
If you wash your colors and whites separately, separate your laundry before you get the laundry area.
Separate Your Regular and Delicate Clothes
If you have certain clothes that can be washed and dried on a normal cycle, such as towel, and you have certain clothes that require cold water or low settings on the dryer you will want to separate the two kinds of laundry before you are in the laundry facility.
Check for Stains and Deal With Them
Before you leave for the laundry room in your apartment complex or head out for the laundromat make sure that you check your dirty clothes for stains. If you use a stain stick or spray to eliminate stains use it before you get the laundry facility.
Carry Only What You Need
This is great if you live in an apartment complex with a laundry facility on the premises. Take a empty plastic bottle and fill it with the amount of liquid laundry detergent that you need, rather than lugging the whole bottle of liquid laundry detergent to the laundry room. You can do the same for powdered detergent.
Some times when you need to do certain laundry you should avoid using a laundry facility.
If You Love It and Can’t Live With Out It, Wash It By Hand
Since so many different people use the washers and dryers in a laundry facility, there is a chance that something could happen to your clothes. If you have an item or items that you can not live without, wash them by hand if you can.
If It’s New and May Bleed, Wash It By Hand
