Personal Hygiene: Washing Clothes

How to Wash Clothes

Step #1
Collect all your soiled clothes from the rooms, or wherever you keep them. Keep in mind to look under your bed. Make sure you find everything.

Step #2
Sort clothes according to color. All whites should go with only whites (or very light colors if the item has been washed many times). Then put all the reds, pinks, and oranges in a separate pile (never keep this close to the white pile as you will be wearing pink shirts for a long time). Then, depending on how much more you have left, put the other colors together, possibly into a lighter (e.g. grays, yellows, light blues) and a darker pile (blacks, dark blues, browns, greens, purples).

Step #3
Wash your piles either by hand or in a washing machine. Remember to use detergent!

Step#4
When you are finished washing your clothes, remember to dry them. You can hang them up in your house or hang them outside (when it is warm). You can also use a dryer.
