THE 8 MOST IMPORTANT RULES OF DOING LAUNDRY

THE 8 MOST IMPORTANT RULES OF DOING LAUNDRY
Clean Right Laundromat – Gainesville, GA

Doing laundry might seem straightforward, but if you want your clothes to last longer, look better, and smell fresher, there are a few golden rules to follow. At Clean Right Laundromat, we’re all about helping you get the best results, whether you’re doing it yourself or dropping it off with us. Here are the 8 most important laundry rules everyone should know:

1. Separate by Color and Fabric Type

Always sort your laundry into lights, darks, and delicates. Washing a red shirt with white socks? Big mistake. At Clean Right, our attendants can help guide you if you’re unsure.

2. Don’t Overload the Machines

Cramming too much into the washer or dryer prevents your clothes from cleaning and drying properly. Leave some space—our high-capacity Huebsch Galaxy Touch machines are designed for optimal performance with a properly loaded drum.

3. Read the Labels

Those little tags on your clothes aren’t just for show. They tell you how to wash, dry, and care for each item. When in doubt, ask one of our friendly attendants—we’re happy to help.

4. Use the Right Amount of Detergent

More soap doesn't mean cleaner clothes. Too much detergent can leave residue and make clothes stiff. With our Sanowash Ozone system, your clothes get sanitized even with less soap.

5. Treat Stains Immediately

The longer you wait, the harder it is to remove a stain. Pretreat as soon as possible and wash in cool water unless otherwise instructed.

6. Empty Pockets Before Washing

It’s not just annoying—it can be damaging. Coins, pens, and lip balm can wreak havoc on your clothes and machines. Take a second to check before tossing things in.

7. Don’t Let Wet Clothes Sit

Leaving wet laundry in the washer can cause mildew and odor. Transfer clothes to the dryer or hang them up as soon as possible to avoid the stink.

8. Choose the Right Temperature

Hot water isn’t always best. Use cold for darks and delicate fabrics to prevent shrinking and fading. Our machines let you customize settings easily for every load.

At Clean Right Laundromat, we make laundry simple with Ozone-sanitized washers, friendly staff, kids’ zone, and free pickup and delivery service. Whether you DIY or let us do the work for you, your clothes are always in good hands.
