Doing laundry is a routine task that many of us do without giving it much thought. However, poor laundry practices can lead to damaged clothes, wasted resources, and even costly repairs. Knowing what not to do is just as important as knowing the right techniques. This article outlines 15 common laundry mistakes to avoid to ensure your clothes stay in perfect condition and your appliances run efficiently.

1. Avoid mixing towels and clothes.
Towels are made of thick, absorbent materials that can produce a lot of lint. When mixed with clothes, especially those made of synthetic fibers, lint can transfer to the fabric and cling to it, making your clothes look worn and unkempt. Additionally, towels require longer drying times, which can cause clothes to overdry when washed together.

2. Never use too much fabric softener.
Although fabric softener can make clothes softer and give them a pleasant scent, using too much can lead to residue buildup on clothes. This can reduce the absorbency of towels and make clothes greasy. Excessive use can also impair the performance of your washing machine by clogging dispensers and hoses.
