• Washing mode. Now almost all the clothes, towels and bedding have labels on which it is written which mode of washing will be optimal. Give preference to the one indicated on the tag
• Temperature regime. If the fabric is polluted very strongly, you can set a fairly high temperature, but if the pollution is minimal, it will better stop at an average temperature regime
• Washing products. The best option for cleaning linen is washing powder. If you prefer liquid agents, do not forget that they lose their strength at a temperature of more than 55 degrees

• Laundry soap. A good alternative to modern powders is laundry soap. In addition to the fact that it is well washed off the laundry, it also has bactericidal properties
