Are your duds looking a little worse for wear? Here are some extra-effective ways to keep your clothes looking as good as the day you bought them.
Step 1: Hand-wash delicate knits
Laundering cashmere or wool knits in the washing machine, even on the delicate cycle, can cause them to run and unravel. Instead, hand-wash them in the sink or a bowl with liquid detergent. Squeeze suds through the fabric instead of rubbing, and rinse thoroughly.
Step 2: Dry knits
Wringing knits weakens the fabric; instead, gently squeeze the water out. Then, lay the item flat on top of a towel, roll it up inside the towel, and press to remove more water. Unroll it, and spread it on a flat surface to dry.
Step 3: Separate colors from whites
Separate color fabrics from all-white clothes before washing. In the colors pile, separate colors by intensity. Wash brights, which are more likely to bleed, pastels, and dark colors in separate loads.
Tip
If colors run, wash the stained clothes again while they're still wet, and the dye should wash out.
Step 4: Wash darks in cold
Machine-wash darks in cold water on the shortest cycle, using liquid detergent specially formulated for dark and black clothing. It will keep dyes in dark fabrics from washing out and fading.
Tip
Turn colored clothes inside-out before washing them to preserve their hue.
Step 5: Tackle the whites
Wash all of your whites in hot water, unless the label specifies another water temperature. If you notice your whites becoming dull after a few washes, add color remover to the wash, which you can buy at the supermarket or online.
Tip
You can also try oxygen bleach. Chlorine bleach can leave a yellow tinge on whites, especially if you wash in hot water.
Step 6: Line-dry
No matter what color they are, line-dry clothes whenever possible, avoiding direct sunlight. Fold clothes in half over the line and secure with clothespins. If you use the dryer, choose the lowest temperature setting for the material. High heat shrinks and warps fabrics.
Step 7: Put clothes away the right way
Some clothes, like those made from linen or cotton, stay wrinkle-free if they're hung up, while knits retain their shape better if you fold them. Fold long dresses, too, since hanging tends to stretch them out.
Did You Know?
The Phoenicians developed a process of extracting purple dye from snail glands. This dye was called royal purple because only kings, emperors, and high priests could wear it. - Jak na to + styl
They knew nobody would watch this without some hot ass girl doing the demonstration. Hell, it kept me glued to the screen.
Its good to know that I've been doing some of these things right
haha I actually like doing my laundry so this is good.
I always use cold water though, to lower the cost of energy.
Very helpful!

Step 1: Throw away your old clothes.
Step 2: Buy new clothes.
litterally peeps in africa dont even get new clothes! they only new clothes they get is leaves or plastic shirts!
.... this is just common sense... i thought there was going to be some kind of secret technique, but there wasn't.
i guess it's good for people who don't know how to do laundry?? but seriously... people who don't know how to do laundry are pampered. it's freaking daily chores.
@TwilightGirl90210 she could just sew it in
um well not the best video I could be watching right now. but good effects tips and cameraing

Into the washing machine it goes.

I prefer making everyone else's clothes look old.
Step 1. Keep your clothes folded
Step 2. Wash your clothes
DONE
No, honestly i don't have a big chest but i'm pretty and i really don't care
so, i guess clothes are optional too....
WHAT ABOUT THE UNDERWEAR??
if you buy 2 new clothes it will be more cheaper than buying all these things

It's a trick.That chick makes the video more attractive.
This is just a video on how to wash your clothes .-.
Some heftys
Snail glands? Who would want that job?
I just wanted to watch a beautiful girl fold clothes (and I don't mean that in a sexist way).
But that green shirt is in the - "Hey!"
I would watch her change oil in a car
I would watch her do it from afar
or maybe change oil into tar?
Some things have changed this age and day
except one thing I'll always say
a phrase that starts with "I" and ends in "may"
I think she is a natural blonde :D
Screw Howcast
