Susannah Constantine shares tips for saving money doing laundry<\/h3>\n

1. Not separating colours<\/b><\/h3>\n

Emma Rostron, general manager at One Less Thing, said: \u201cIt might seem like a chore, but you should always separate your clothes into whites, light colours, dark colours, and delicates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will help you avoid colour transfer and ensure your clothes are washed at the right temperature as the wrong temperature can cause them to shrink or fade, and even result in clothes that are no longer the colour you intended.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, washing red clothes with white clothes on a hot wash can leave everything pink.\u201d<\/p>\n

It can also help colours stay nice and bright, including white clothing which can often look dull over time.<\/p>\n

2. Overloading the washing machine<\/b><\/h3>\n

It can be tempting to stuff the washing machine full to the brim, especially with high energy bills.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, this can result in poor washing performance and may even cause damage to the washing machine.<\/p>\n

This is because the drum will become unbalanced or too heavy and be hard to spin.<\/p>\n

Emma added: \u201cA good rule of thumb is to fill the drum about three-quarters of the way, leaving enough space that you can pop the side of your hand in between the edge of the drum and your clothes.<\/p>\n

\u201cOverloading the machine can also cause clothes to rub against each other, which can cause them to wear out faster as well as form those annoying bobbles that make clothes look worn and old.\u201d<\/p>\n
