Laundry is one of the chores which we all do, yet we rarely do think so much about them until something goes wrong. White towels can turn pink, and a stubborn stain just will not budge, or a favourite shirt then shrinks. Sound familiar?
It is easy enough to slip into some bad laundry habits without even fully realizing it in a busy place such as Dubai, where the weather does not do our clothes favours and time is so precious. Waves Laundry fixed every problem it saw.
1. Overstuffing the Washing Machine
It’s tempting, we know. You may want to throw in one more shirt so you can save time. But a machine is not cleaning clothes properly when it is overloaded by far. Items will rub against each other so the washer does get overworked. Also, detergent doesn’t rinse so very well out.
Waves Laundry handles it like this: We wash in loads that are balanced well. Proper cleaning needs some space some care and some water for each garment.
2. Using Too Much Detergent
With detergent increases, do clothes become cleaner? Actually, no. Using too much soap can leave a sticky residue that traps dirt, irritates your skin, and wears down the fabric over time.
Our approach: we use the eco-friendly detergent amount that is right, based on your fabric type. Clothes are treated gently yet stains are handled toughly. Also, it feels soft on your skin.
3. Washing Fabrics Together
A No-Go Mixing Different Fabrics in the Same Load You shouldn’t wash denim and lace together; they just don’t mix well. When you combine thick materials with finer ones, you might end up with issues like stretching, colour running, or even frayed threads.
Our approach is unique: We categorize each item by its colour, texture, and type of fabric. Your delicate items remain untouched, while your dark clothes won’t mess up your lighter ones.
4. Skipping Stain Treatment
Next up, let’s talk about ignoring stains until they become a real headache. Let Stains Sit Until It’s Too Late Have you ever chucked a dirty shirt into the washer and just hoped it would come out clean? That almost never succeeds. You really should treat those stains quickly before they settle in permanently.
Our approach: At Waves, we take the time to carefully treat stains. Our methods are tried and true, using safe products to tackle even the most stubborn marks without harming the fabric.
5. Using the Wrong Water Temperature
Choosing the Incorrect Water Temperature Sometimes, hot water can be more of a foe than a friend. Using super hot water can really mess up your clothes; it’ll make them smaller, dull their colours, and wear out any elastic in them.
Our approach is simple: We carefully choose the perfect water temperature for every load — cold for bright colours, warm for synthetic fabrics, and tailored cycles for delicate materials like wool or silk.
6. Neglect of Color Separation
This is a classic mistake: Whites, reds, and darks all put in the same load. That is how you get that greyish-white or that pink sock disaster. We at home do it this way: Each load of laundry is put by color to keep whites white, colours bright, and your clothes looking like new. Also, we found that over-drying is a big no. We use gentle drying techniques which include air drying when possible in order that your clothes remain soft, strong, and wearable for the long term.
7. Overdrying clothes
Overly drying clothes damages fabric fibres, shrinks garments, and uses energy inefficiently.
What We Do: For your clothes to remain soft, strong and wearable for a longer period of time, we help by using gentle drying cycles alongside air-drying whenever possible.
