- Separate by fabric type: delicates, heavy fabrics, and normal items.4
- Solution -> Divide clothes based on their material. Delicate items like lingerie, silk, and lace should be washed separately. Heavy fabrics like towels and jeans can be washed together. Everyday items like cotton shirts and pants form another group.
- Explanation -> Delicate fabrics require gentle washing cycles and should be protected from the abrasion of heavier items. Heavy fabrics can withstand more agitation. Washing similar fabric types together helps maintain their quality.
- any notes required -> Use mesh laundry bags for extra protection of delicates.
