1. Separate materials by color
You should wash white textiles separately from other colors. The same applies to black clothing. You can wash colorful textiles together without worry - with one exception: red!
This ensures that your textiles retain their original color even after several washes.
2. Use washing net
With a laundry net you can protect textiles from friction and unsightly, small balls. This effect is also referred to as pilling. If you wash your hijabs in a laundry net, the smooth surface of the textiles can be retained even after many washes.
3. Avoid fabric softener
Aggressive cleaning agents not only harm the environment, but also most textiles.
So try to avoid them.
4. Wash at a maximum of 40 degrees
30 or 40 degrees is sufficient to get textiles just as clean as at higher temperatures. You also save a lot of energy thanks to low temperatures.
A wash cycle produces 0.6kg of CO2 at 30 degrees, and almost six times as much at 60 degrees!
If it is very dirty, you can soak the textiles beforehand or use a hygiene detergent.
5. Avoid the dryer if possible
Ideally, the following applies to all products: it is best not to use the dryer. This means the quality of your textiles can be maintained even after many washes. The heat in the dryer can cause products to shrink or lose their shape easily.
6. Wash new products before wearing
Some people are allergic to the substances used in the manufacturing process or with which the product has come into contact. Therefore, you should generally always wash your clothes before wearing them for the first time.
