Some people aren't washing their clothes correctly, because the clothes come out looking faded or unclean, or they have shrink because they didn't wash them the right way, when washing your clothes remember every piece of clothing is different, here are some suggestions you should follow to make sure your clothes comes out clean without fading or wrinkles or have shrink to a different size.

1.) First you need to separate your clothes, put all your whites in one pile then wash them in hot water, add your detergent add your bleach after the washer fill with water, and then add about a half of cup of liquid bleach, be careful with the bleach because to much will make holes in your clothes. Making sure not to stuff to many clothes in the washer. Clothes should be loose to flow freely they should be able to move around in the machine while washing, if you stuff them to tightly some of your clothes will not come out clean.

2.) Next you can wash your colored clothes that you have separated, they should be washed in warm water with a detergent of your choice.

3.) Next wash your dark clothes, you can wash whichever pile you like first, it doesn't have to be in this order as long as you have them separated, dark or black clothing should be washed in cold water that is so they won't fade, and also the reason why you wash them separate from the other clothes is because you don't want them to fade onto the other clothes while washing them.

4.) You should have three different piles of clothes to wash and each pile is washed in a different water temperature,if you want to add bleach to your colors it "MUST BE A COLOR SAFE POWDER BLEACH" made for color clothes only.

5.) You should add the laundry detergent to your wash before the wash cycle starts to ensure that your clothes will come out clean from start to finish, try not to add to much detergent because the suds will overflow and come out of the machine if you add to much, in that case you would need to rinse the clothes a lease twice to get out all the suds.

Good tips, but I wish the author knew how to use a period or two. Geez. Some of the sentences went on forever. Run-on sentences are never fun to read.
