🧺 Top 10 Laundry Mistakes Chennai Residents Make—and How to Avoid Them

Laundry may seem simple, but small mistakes can lead to faded fabrics, damaged garments, and wasted time. At Glitters Laundry, we’ve seen it all—from color disasters to detergent overload. Here’s a list of the most common laundry mistakes people make in Chennai—and how you can avoid them.

1. Mixing Whites with Colors

Throwing everything into one load might save time, but it’s a recipe for disaster. That red kurta can turn your white shirt pink in minutes.

Fix: Always sort clothes by color—whites, darks, and brights.

2. Overloading the Washing Machine

More clothes ≠ better efficiency. Overloading strains the motor and prevents proper cleaning.

Fix: Follow the machine’s load guidelines. Leave enough space for water and detergent to circulate.

3. Using Too Much Detergent

More soap doesn’t mean cleaner clothes. It can leave residue and irritate skin.

Fix: Use the recommended amount based on load size and water hardness. At Glitters, we use automated dosing systems for precision.

4. Ignoring Care Labels

That “dry clean only” tag isn’t just a suggestion. Ignoring it can shrink or damage delicate fabrics.

Fix: Check labels before washing. If unsure, let professionals handle it.

5. Washing Stained Clothes Without Pre-Treatment

Throwing stained clothes directly into the washer often sets the stain permanently.

Fix: Pre-treat stains with appropriate solutions—lemon juice for rust, vinegar for sweat, etc.

6. Using Hot Water for All Loads

Hot water can fade colors and damage synthetic fabrics.

Fix: Use cold or lukewarm water for most loads. Reserve hot water for whites and heavily soiled items.

7. Skipping the Spin Cycle

Some skip spinning to “save time,” but it leaves clothes soggy and increases drying time.

Fix: Use the spin cycle to extract excess water. Our hydro extractors do this efficiently.

8. Not Cleaning the Washing Machine

A dirty machine leads to smelly clothes and poor performance.

Fix: Clean the drum and filter monthly. At Glitters, we sanitize machines regularly.

9. Drying Clothes in Direct Sunlight

While sunlight kills bacteria, it also fades colors and weakens fabric over time.

Fix: Dry in shaded areas or use controlled dryers for delicate garments.

10. Ignoring Fabric Type When Ironing

Using high heat on synthetics or silk can cause burns or shine marks.

Fix: Adjust iron temperature based on fabric. Our steam press tables are calibrated for precision.
