Washing
To have a good cloth washing routine you need to ensure that 4 elements are working in balance:
-
Time
-
Agitation
-
Temperature and
-
Chemical Action (detergent)
​
Always keep these 4 elements in balance when doing your washing. Keeping the basic washing routine in mind, you will have to make the following additional adjustments in these scenarios:
​
-
Cold Wash Adjustments: If you wash in cold water, you need to increase the amount of detergent you use (Use more detergent than the recommended amount of detergent for heavily soiled for the specific brand of detergent).
-
Gentle Detergent Adjustments: If you want to use a gentle detergent (for eg Sunlight Baby Detergent) you need to increase the temperature and/or increase the time you wash (maybe add an additional short wash after the long wash)
