Why should you change the way you do laundry? Perhaps because the materials from which clothes are made have changed, the detergents are different, and washing machines also offer a lot of new things. So what to change to take all this into account?

7 most common mistakes when washing clothes: What are they?

1. Reduce the temperature

Most modern textiles do not need to be washed at high temperatures, often it is not even possible. "It is not the case that washing at a higher temperature will make the laundry cleaner. While it will kill bacteria, it is not good for most clothes. It is much better to choose the right detergent and cycle," says Jana Puškáčová, head of the company Elis, which deals with complete service in the field of textiles. It is no longer the case that you have to set the program to broth or above 60 °C to remove stains or microorganisms. Modern preparations can do this, even if the water is only 20 °C.

2. Don't just sort your laundry by color

Are you used to sorting your laundry by color? It is more convenient to take into account the recommended temperature and gentleness of washing. When you use a universal detergent, you can afford to mix more colors or colored with white - just add an anti-staining wipe to the washing machine. It has a positive charge, so it picks up dissolved dyes that are negatively charged.

3. Protect the colors of your laundry

Do you wash pure whites separately? Then choose a detergent with oxidizing effects, which whitens it beautifully. "But never use it on colored because the colors will fade. A product for colored laundry is suitable, which revives the shades," advises Josef Handrejch from Kvalitex.

4. Go for spots smartly

When an accident happens that ends up with a stain, don't let it dry and deal with it right away. You can use one of the special products that can be applied directly to the fabric or added to the washing machine. Their advantage is that the laundry will be really clean and the colors will be protected.

5. Choose correctly: liquid or loose?

Choose detergent according to the type of laundry and washing program. "Ordinary loose powders are more suitable for long washes in hot water and for heavier or stronger clothes. Gels are suitable for washing in any warm water, for lighter and finer clothes, as well as dark and black clothes," advises Jana Puskáčová. However, there are also powders on the market for which the manufacturer guarantees effectiveness even at lower temperatures.

Gel products can be pre-dosed into capsules, discs or pods. They have several chambers and the components contained in them have different functions during washing. In addition to convenient application, it also ensures that you do not use too much detergent.

6. Don't overdo it with fabric softener

What about fabric softener? Do not use it if you then put the clothes in the dryer, and definitely do not add it automatically to every wash. "For example, with bedding made from natural materials, it can reduce valuable properties such as breathability or the ability to absorb moisture," advises Josef Handrejch from Kvalitex. Similarly, fabric softener does not belong in swimwear and elastic underwear or functional clothing.

7. Rely on a smart washing machine

The most modern appliances take into account new materials and requirements for saving water, energy and washing powders. "Trends include special programs for functional textiles as well as popular natural materials. The washing machine can be connected to the smart home system and controlled via mobile phone or computer. Quality materials are also being promoted, which will ensure the life of the appliance for up to 20 years," explains Lucie Kyselá, product manager of Miele CR.

Washing machines offer steam programs ensuring disinfection, improvement of fiber properties, fluffiness and perfuming even without fabric softener. Furthermore, spray nozzles that get detergent or softener directly into the fibers and reduce water consumption by up to 30%, and can also work with ionization, which removes maximum stains even at low temperatures.
