Sorting your clothes by similar fabrics and colours is one of the most important steps in correct laundry practice.
Separate loads by whites, bright colours and dark colours, then even further by fabric similarities - delicates or man-made fibres, cottons or natural fibres and terry robes, wool and towels. Always separate lint-producing fabrics such as towelling from lint-attracting fabrics such as velvet and corduroy.
As you sort, close zippers, turn garments inside out and check pockets for tissues or paper.
Lingerie and swimwear should always be hand washed in the sink with laundry soap designed for delicates. Remember that silk, wool, linen and rayon should typically be dry cleaned. Always leave to the professionals if in doubt.
