  • If something new is dyed or colored, wash it separately in a sink or sink so that the color doesn't get on other clothes.
  • Fill two pots with water. You should use a deep basin that can hold at least one piece of clothing. You can also use the sink as a wash basin. Fill of both pots with warm water about 29 degrees Celsius (or just enough to be immersed). Water that is too hot can stain clothes, and water that is too cold will not remove stains effectively.
    • If you are worried about shrinking clothes, put cold water in both pots to minimize heat shrinkage.
    • You can use the same tub of water to wash clothes of a similar color, such as separate light and dark pots.

  • Add cleaning solution to a basin. 1 teaspoon (about 5 grams) detergent can wash 1 item / garment. Mix detergent / solution into the water in the appropriate ratio for the amount of clothes.
  • Wash clothes in mixed solution. Place the clothes in a sink with a solution of water and detergent and soak them to cover. Then, use your hands to gently move the clothes in the water so that the stain is removed. You need to rotate the clothes back and forth in the water for about 3 minutes, or until the item looks clean.
    • Do not rub, squeeze, or rub the clothes in the water, as this may damage the garment.
    • Do not soak clothes in the laundry water for longer than 3-4 minutes as the fabric may shrink.

  • Rinse the clothes in the second pot. After washing it, remove the clothes and carefully place the remaining clean water in the basin. Rinse again by soaking in water for about 3 minutes. This will help remove any remaining soap on your clothes.
    • Check that the clothes are clean and soapy is left. If soap still remains, empty the basin and rinse clothes with clean water again.
    • If you are using dry cleaning solution, skip this step.

  • Part 3 of 3: Drying clothes

    1. Do not wring clothes. Limit twisting and spinning to dry. This action can affect the fabric texture and damage the clothes. Instead, lift the clothes and let excess water drip down the sink or sink.

    2. Dry the clothes on a flat surface. Spread wet clothing on a clean surface like a kitchen counter or counter. Fix the clothes so that the clothes are straight and in the correct shape.
      • You can also lay clothes flat on the drying platform, be careful not to hang them vertically on the rack. Vertically drying clothes can relax clothes.
    3. Turn over clothes to dry completely. Wait 2-4 hours for the clothes to dry on one side, then turn the clothes over to dry on the other side. You can leave it on overnight and check the next morning to see if both sides are dry. advertisement
