Never use dish washing soap in a washing machine. You'll literally end up with a room full of suds. Even if you use a small amount it may not wash out from clothes as easily. It also doesn't clean as well.
Don't use TOP LOAD detergent in FRONT LOAD machine.

Don't leave your laundry alone because when it is done, people may take it out and just leave it sitting on any random table.

Make sure you take ALL your clothes out when you are done.

Dryers, check and adjust the temperature setting for each load. Industrial dryers can get quite hot. High temperatures can ruin some clothes.

Check your dryer a few minutes after the load has started to make sure it is heating properly.

Don't wash and dry with things in your pockets. Empty them before you start washing. Papers will leave paper bits all over everything. Lipsticks, lip balms, pens and glosses can melt and ruin an entire load of clothes. And Kleenex leaves your entire load covered in a white lint-like substance.

Some suggestions to extend the life of your garments and to save you time in the process.

Always Sort Your Colors

When it comes to time saving techniques, failing to sort out your colors when you do your laundry is not wise. Sure, you will save a spot of time while loading your washing machine. But, in the long run, you will find yourself spending more time replacing damaged clothing. In addition, in short you will discover that many of your garments do not look flattering any longer -- colors fade and become dull when colors are not properly separated before cleaning.

Don't Overload

You may think that you can save yourself a great deal of time -- and maybe even some money -- by overloading your washing machine.

In the final analysis, overloading your washing machine can have a number of negative consequences:

First, your clothing will not become fully clean in an overloaded machine.
Second, your clothing will be more apt to be burdened with detergent residue if you overload your machine.

Manage Your Cycle

One of the best ways that you can ensure that your clothing enjoys a long life is to make certain that you pay attention to the type of cycle that best serves your garments. In haste, many a person pays no attention to monitoring or managing the correct wash cycle for clothing items.

While most people understand the necessity of separating out clothing items of different colors, the same people do not pay attention to the wash cycles that are called for different garments. By failing to pay attention to what type of wash cycle is best for a particular type of clothing, you will be aging your garments before their time.

Avoiding Wrinkles

There are three steps that you need to keep in mind when it comes to avoiding wrinkles in your wash. Wrinkled clothing and dealing with wrinkled clothing can be the most frustrating and time consuming element of tending to laundry.

First, pay attention to when your washing machine completes its work. By promptly removing your clean clothing from the washer directly after the spin cycle ends and putting the garments into a dryer will work to reduce a significant amount of wrinkling that normally is associated with laundry.
Second, pay attention to the temperature setting on your dryer. Do not ratchet the dryer temperature up too high. High temperatures tend to increase the presence of wrinkles in some clothing.
Finally, as with the washing machine, pay close attention to when your dryer completes its cycle. Remove the clothing and fold to avoid undue wrinkling.

By making the effort to follow the tips outlined in this article you will find that your clothing is cleaner and freer from wrinkles after each and every laundering. In addition, your garments will enjoy a longer lifetime if you do follow these pointers and suggestions.
