First things first, you need to watch out for your dirty clothes. Make piles. Remember: separate the white clothes from the coloured ones. If the two get mixed, you will not like how your white coloured clothes will end up being coloured. Moreover, clothes such as towels, velvets, etc; the ones which produce lint, should be separated from normal cloths.
