Do people still sort laundry? (Page 2 ) | December 20, 2023
Annonce:
Modern detergents, especially those labeled as “color-safe” or “all-in-one,” claim to prevent color bleeding and protect fabrics even when mixed in the same load.
Washing Machine Features: High-end washing machines often come with a range of features, such as separate compartments for detergent, bleach, and fabric softener. These machines are designed to handle mixed loads effectively.
Environmental Concerns:
Some argue that sorting laundry leads to more frequent, smaller loads, which can be less eco-friendly due to increased water and energy consumption.
The Arguments for Sorting Laundry
Fabric Longevity:
Sorting laundry can help extend the life of your clothing. Fabrics like denim and towels may produce lint that can attach to more delicate items, causing damage over time.
Stain Removal:
Sorting allows you to treat stains more effectively. Pre-treating stains on specific garments before washing them separately can increase the chances of successful stain removal.
Maintaining Color Vibrancy:
Even with advanced detergents, colors can fade over time, especially when exposed to hot water and frequent washing. Sorting laundry can help preserve the vibrancy of your colorful garments.
