How to wash clothes properly?

Hello, I've recently started living alone and am overwhelmed, so I have four questions.

  1. Many of my white clothes have a crossed triangle on them (according to Google, no bleach). What detergent do I need? Does the picture show it?
  2. For example, many items of clothing are marked for 40 degrees Celsius, others for 60 degrees Celsius, and some allow bleaching while others don't. Do I have to put all the sorted items in the washing machine together, and only those with the same labels?
  3. My washing machine has a dryer, but why can't I put a lot of clothes in it? I paid the extra for a built-in dryer for practically nothing.
  4. Does fabric softener contain bleach or can I safely add it to both white and black laundry?

You can ignore that with bleaching, which is usually only important for a laundry, as the stronger bleaching agents have.

You can use the full detergent for white laundry without any problems. Consider that colorful laundry can bleach something (not have to) if you wash the laundry too often.

The other is softener, which actually only ensures that the laundry is softer and smells better…

More like hanging from the fabric…

Manufacturers want to go to number safe and exaggerate something with the information

When it’s printed turn left.

Otherwise it doesn’t matter

With a full detergent you are already good at start;-) Bleaching is not really necessary, I have never done in over 30 years. Softener does not contain bleach, it makes soft, as the name says.

You should wash by color and by recommended temperature. T-shirts blue and black can be packed together, I wouldn’t do a white one. Also in white laundry, do not pack colorful parts because this can lead to discoloration. When washing comes into the dryer, you should not use a softener. However, it should be possible to wash your combination machine without dryer function. Then you need to dry the laundry on a clothes rack.

Don’t go crazy about bleaching. It’s also about the stuff coming clean out of the machine, it’s not about packing a blue t-shirt in the machine and getting a white one out. Every colored part you wash out with time.

Do the test, throw an old colored part into the machine and make the comparison before/after. You’ll hardly notice it after one or two washes….

Laundry that carries the “not bleach” symbol, wash with a color detergent. It does not contain bleach.

If you want to wash 60° and 40° wash together, then all at 40°. The lowest temperature decides. It is not necessary to wash at 60°, with the correct detergent anyway.

Softener is not bleach. However, it should be possible to dispense with dishwashers as completely as possible. Softener remains on the fiber and can cause skin problems, substances are even absorbed from it by the skin and enter the bloodstream. In addition, softeners cause completely unnecessary environmental pollution.

Dryers with heat pump dry at lower temperatures than classic dryers. That’s why you can put a lot of pieces of laundry on which you don’t want to put them in the dryer, but dry in it. Generally, however, the laundry in the dryer suffers more, i.e. during drying outdoors. We use the dryer if the weather is not allowed to dry outdoors, and above all in towels. These are more beautiful in the dryer.

My washing machine is with dryer, but why can’t you put a lot of clothes in?

Because some clothing is too sensitive to it and shrinks or otherwise breaks.

Therefore, you have to remove this laundry after washing and dry separately (probably there are different programs for the dryer?)

The detergent is okay! You can also use softeners without problems! For 40-degree laundry you can also add 60-degree laundry to it but NOT RECEIVE!!! I don’t know about dryers because I don’t own anyone.

Yeah, that’s it. But this is detergent which contains bleaching agent and no pure bleaching agent.
