How to Wash Clothes Properly in the Washing Machine 

The Ultimate Guide & the Smart Solution from CleverWASH


Learn below how to wash clothes properly in the washing machine and discover an easier way to get perfect laundry results without effort through cleverwash.gr.


Washing clothes may seem simple, but mistakes in sorting, detergent dosage, or cycle selection can easily damage fabrics or lead to poor cleaning results.

That’s why we created this practical guide—and a smarter alternative through CleverWASH laundry services.


1. Sorting Clothes – The Most Important Step


Before loading your washing machine, you should always separate your clothes properly:

  • Whites
  • Light colors
  • Dark / colored clothes


Mixing them incorrectly can ruin whites or fade colors.


✔ Don’t forget:

  • Close zippers
  • Empty pockets
  • Turn delicate garments inside out 


2. Proper Loading of the Washing Machine


Place clothes loosely inside the drum without pressing them down.

❗ Overloading the washing machine:

  • reduces cleaning performance
  • damages fabrics
  • increases energy consumption 


3. Stains | Proper Pre-Treatment


For tough stains:


  • apply liquid detergent directly on the stain
  • or use a dedicated stain remover


Always follow product instructions carefully.


4. Detergent & Correct Dosage


The correct amount of detergent is essential for good results.

You can use:

  • liquid detergent
  • powder detergent


📌 Important:

  • Do not exceed the recommended dosage
  • Always follow manufacturer instructions


For bleach:

  • use only when necessary
  • place it in the designated compartment 


5. Washing Duvets & Blankets


For bulky items:

  • prefer liquid detergent
  • avoid powder, which may leave residue 


6. Choosing the Right Washing Program


Every garment requires different care.


Always check:

  • the clothing label
  • your washing machine instructions


The correct cycle ensures:

  • better cleaning results
  • longer fabric lifespan 


7. Safe Drying of Clothes


After washing:

  • check care labels
  • choose the correct dryer program

⏱ Drying time usually ranges between 20–50 minutes.


8. Cleaning the Dryer Filter


After every use:

  • clean the lint filter


This ensures:

  • proper machine performance
  • prevention of damage 



9. Tip for Bulky Items


For blankets and duvets:

  • change their position halfway through the cycle
  • for more even drying
