Have you ever opened your washing machine only to find your clothes tied up in knots? Not only is this frustrating, but it can also leave your garments wrinkled or even damaged. The good news is that a few simple laundry tricks can help prevent tangling, protect your clothes, and make ironing easier.
1. Sort Your Laundry by Fabric
Don’t just separate your clothes by color—pay attention to fabric type as well.
-
Delicate fabrics like microfiber or muslin can handle faster spin speeds and are less likely to wrinkle.
-
Heavier fabrics such as denim or khaki wrinkle more easily and can cause lighter clothes to tangle.
Tip: Avoid washing stretchy, soft items together with heavy clothing like jeans to reduce twisting and creasing.
2. Use Plastic Bottles in the Wash
This unusual trick really works. Adding a couple of clean plastic bottles into your wash helps disrupt the water’s movement, keeping clothes from twisting together. Loosen the caps slightly so water can flow in and out for best results.
3. Adjust the Spin Speed
