It can be a challenge to keep your clothing wrinkle-free.

You may not be aware, but you are probably keeping the clothes in the dryer too long, causing them to wrinkle. Try taking them out while they are still warm and see the difference it makes.

Here's Why You Should Use a Colander for Those Handwash Items

Although no one likes to handwash their clothing, sometimes it is inevitable. There are delicate and fragile pieces of clothing that cannot just be thrown into the wash. They can be destroyed in a moment. To help the handwashing process for these items, consider bringing out a colander. This will help keep the clothes contained in one area and clean while you rinse and wash them to perfection.

This is particularly great because, unlike a bucket, the dirty water washes away immediately. So you don't have to worry about the clothing soaking in the same dirty water for a long time.

For Cleanest Results, Don't Overload Your Machine

One of the simplest ways to make sure your clothes are cleaned properly and fully is to make sure that you do not overfill your laundry machine. It can be tempting to stuff it all the way to the brim to get the most out of your wash, but it is not worth it. You should really only be filling the machine about 3/4 full to help ensure that the clothes have room to move around and be cleaned.

If you fill the machine too full, then the clothing will be stuck in one place, and the cleaning will not be evenly distributed. It can also overwhelm the machine.

Hang up a Designated Lint Bag on the Wall

Not everyone has a laundry room that is large enough to also hold a trash can. In that case, you might be disturbed by the thought of what to do with all the lint that you take out of your dryer on a daily basis. You can't leave the lint in your dryer, and yet you don't have an easily accessible trash can to place it in each and every time.

That is why you need a lint container. It can be small and takes up very little space. You can even make things out of the lint that you collect, like dog or cat toys that your pets will enjoy.
