Handle With Care



How many of you would say that you do a good job with the care of your clothes? If I had to guess I would predict that most of you do a pretty good job most of the time. It might be that you need to just tweak a thing or two. I know that most of you are over worked and overstressed. In you attempt to get what you need to get done for the day, you take a short cut. For instance, when it comes to doing your laundry do you ever combine your towels with your clothes so that they are washed together in the same load? I know that a lot of college students have a tendency to do this because they don’t have a lot of laundry and want to save time and money. Well, the long and short of it is that you shouldn’t wash your towels and clothes together in the same load. You should take the time and wash your towels in a load with just towels, no clothes. Washing a load of towels and clothes together results in your clothes pilling. Yes, those tiny little annoying balls that you find on sweaters, shirts and pants etc. Just changing this laundry habit will result in a longer shelf life for your garments. I personally would rather choose to get rid of a garment because it no longer serves its purpose anymore. Versus having to throw the garment away because it didn’t hold up. The moral of the story is that you don’t want to put your towels and clothes in the same load, keep your towels in a separate load. Your clothes will look better and last longer.
