How to do laundry
Sometimes I get confused how to choose wash cycle and dry cycle ? how to separate clothes correctly ? when to wash in cold/warm/hot water ? what is normal/delicate/permanent press ? etc
It’s not a rocket science but very easy to forget and wrongly choose. Here is some experiences I collected from some websites and my own experience:
First, here is the basic setting for almost all laundry stuffs you might have:
| Type of Stuff | Cycle | Water Temp | Dryer Setting |
| Whites | Regular | Hot | Normal |
| Colors | Regular | Warm/Cold | Normal |
| Permanent Press | Perm. Press | Cold | Permanent Press |
| Delicates | Delicates | Cold | Delicates |
| Wool | Delicates | Cold | Tumble/Fluff-No Heat |
As far as I understand, permanent press clothes are stuffs that contains chemically treated fabric that makes your clothes less wrinkles. Clothes with permanent press features I can think of is like office uniforms, pants, t-shirts, skirts and 100% cottons. Delicates include polyesters, sweater, wool.
The harshness degree of each wash cycle and wash dryer is reduced gradually from regular > Perm. Press > Delicates.
As you see in the table, white/light color should be washed in hot water and can be used with bleach. Color one and heavy-duty clothes like jeans should be washed in cold water and taken inside-out to preserve color.
One more thing is that towels should washed separately from other stuffs. It can make other clothes marked with a lot of lints. I am having a bad experience with it right now 
Also, don’t overload the machine. The height of cloth pile should not be over the height of the agitator (the center column in the machine).
Last but not least, I found some interesting guidelines in this following website. Check it out:
