There are several steps before you actually toss your clothes in the washer. You need to make sure all your pockets are empty. You need to treat the stains so your clothes will keep looking nice each time you wear them. You need to turn some of your clothes inside-out to protect the colors or the decorations.
Washing a load every day will keep your laundry from piling up. This info is more important for families than for singles, or couples with no children living at home. Remember those sock sorters and laundry bags!
