Laundry, we have it, we all have to do it. Often it’s done at home and sometimes it is done at a laundromat or a coin-op laundry room at the apartment building.

Here listed are 12 mistakes people make when it comes to cleaning clothes.

One mistake that I’m on occasion guilty of is using too much detergent. If you do, it can lead to bacteria buildup in those hard to rinse area of clothing like behind collars.

This one isn’t one I make because I’ve been told a number of times not to do it but machine washing “dry clean” only fabrics.

Another common one is not cleaning your dryer. This means for than just cleaning the lint trap.

There a number of other mistakes including not leveling your washer and overusing bleach and you can check them for yourself.
