Can i just put one piece of clothing in the washer?
i have a soccer jersey and it says to wash separately. i thought i could wash it with my colors, but what i read is that you are supposed to wash it just by itself. and i have a washer with load settings of low, normal, heavy and extra heavy. Do i wash the piece of clothing in the low setting? I was told not put 1 piece of clothing in the wash because the washing machine was not gonna do anything if only 1 piece of clothing is in it.
Can You Wash One Clothing Item In A Washing Machine By Itself?
Yes you can but waste of money,energy. When I have to do just one I hand wash it or do it when it's end time for the wash cycle or in the start and take it out after some time and then rinse in the sink.!! !!
What is the effect of washing clothes inside out?
The benefits of washing clothes inside out are :1) The garment goes through all the wear & tear of washing on the inner side & does not affect the look (outside) - same garment when dried in open (under sun) in most countries fades - that fading is also on the inner side : leaving the outer surface intact.2) All the buttons, rivets, sequins etc on the face of the garment do not undergo the grind of washing be it hand wash or machine wash.3) Especially in hand wash the hot spots of dirt like collars/cuffs get a good scrub during the washing process & this helps in better cleaning of these areas, since the dirt in these areas is stubborn & does not leave the garment easily.4) In earlier days the color fastness of fabrics was very low & the garments used to cross stain on other garments (in contact with) during washing. This is avoided or minimsed as the impression of cross staining comes on the inner side, sparing the face of the garment intact.5) Rubbing of garments with another during washing creates friction & this friction results in fuzziness, rough hand feel & pilling (small pin head kind of structures on the surface) - washing them inside out prevents this change in physical appearance affecting the outlook of the garment.6) Also, it was a (mis)conception that cleaning them inside out helps in better cleaning - though there is no scientific base for it as the soap molecules attach to the dirt particles irrespective of the garment being washed in or out.All this was done to prolong the life of garment, extend it's wearability & preserve the outlook for many years - basically to look as new even after dozens of washes.But in the world of disposable fashion I think it no longer matters anymore !!
Can you wash white clothes with colors?
Never wash brand new bold colored clothes with lightly colored clothes. The deep bold colors on on clothing is more likely to bleed onto lighter ones, more so when they are brand new. Washing in cold water can help but it isn’t a perfect solution. It is not a good idea to wash whites with colored clothes if you want your white clothes to stay white. Cold water washing will not make clothes bleed color like hot water will. Color transfer can still happen when using only cold water so it is best to keep colors and whites separated. But if you are washing along with old or faded color clothes you can take a chance, white vinegar in the final rinse (you can put it in the fabric softener dispenser or add it manually to the final rinse) will help to 'set' color so it is less likely to be transferred in future wash loads. 1 cup of vinegar per a full load (1/4 cup per small load, 1/2 per medium load) would be sufficient. If you dry them together, only turn the colored clothes right side out.Hope you find this helpful.Find out, how I know!!Lets Laundry | Dry Cleaning & Laundry Services | Free Pick & Drop

Washing bloody clothes - Ok to mix with other dirty clothes?
If there's a lot of blood, you might want to wash them separately. Otherwise, they'll wash nicely with like colors. Fresh bloodstains are a lot easier to remove than older ones, so the quicker they're washed, the better. Before washing, soak the clothes in cold water, and wash and rinse them in cold water with a good detergent. Heat-set bloodstains are impossible to remove. If the clothes are white, add chlorine bleach.
Can you wash a single item in a washing machine?
Yes - but unless it's something large enough to be a reasonable load, it might not be spun as close to dry as a full load would be, so it would take longer to dry than if you'd run a reasonably sized load with that item in there.That said - if I'm washing a larger sized blanket or bed spread - I'd probably make sure that was all that was in the washing machine so that it could move around and get cleaner than if it was jammed into the machine without room to get washed properly.I've seen things that were jammed into a washing machine until there was barely room for detergent & water and they just didn't get properly cleaned - no room to agitate & shake the dirt loosened by detergent & water out of the fabric so that it can go down the drain!
Laundry: How often should I wash my clothes?
I can only speak on the matter of demin. Demin fibers (likely like other kinds of fabrics) wear out from being laundered, especially from being put in the dryer. If you wear high end demin, the best thing to do is to very infrequently wash your jeans. Not only will they last longer, but they will grow softer over time. If you wear your average, basic jeans, you will likely end up prolonging their lives with this method. I wash my jeans, every 3 months or so. When I do wash them, I make sure to line dry them instead of putting them in the dryer.They don't smell or pick up a lot of dirt/stains or anything like that, but they are all very soft and extremely comfortable. For most things nicer then demin, dry cleaning seems to prolong the life of the garment the best. Most other things such as undergarments and T shirts, you are spot on. There's no way to wash them more than once after each use, and to wash them less would be unhygenic.
