Laundry Tips For Fresher Clothes

Keeping your clothes looking fresh doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right washing habits, detergent choices, and care techniques, you can make your favorite pieces last longer, and look better doing it.

Sort Smart

Always separate lights, darks, and delicates. Mixing colors causes fading, and heavier fabrics can damage lightweight materials during the wash. Sorting before washing is the easiest way to protect your clothes’ color and texture.

Wash in Cold Water

Cold water keeps fabrics strong and colors vibrant. It also saves energy and reduces shrinkage. Unless your items are heavily soiled, a cold cycle is almost always the best option.

Don’t Overload the Machine

Cramming too much laundry in one load means your clothes won’t get properly cleaned or rinsed. Leave enough space for water and detergent to circulate, because your clothes will thank you.

Use the Right Detergent

Choose a gentle, high-quality detergent that matches your fabric type. At Fresh Wash, every wash is ozone-sanitized for a deeper, safer clean, that's free from harsh chemicals.

Air Dry When Possible

The dryer can wear out fibers over time. Hang-drying or using a low-heat setting helps prevent shrinkage, fading, and stretching.

Handle Stains Quickly

The sooner you treat a stain, the better. Blot (don’t rub) with cold water and mild detergent, then wash as usual.
