No matter what’s your gender, the right way is the right way. Here are 15 shirt and clothing laundry care steps to put you on the right track for life.

1. Select all your dirty laundry. Pick through the shirts or clothing, placing all white in one pile, pastel and mid-range colored clothing in another heap, place bright and dark clothing on a third heap.
   
   
2. Pay attention to shirts like “Ringer T-shirts” that have colored neck and sleeve trims and white or light body color. Read the fabric label care guide on the shirt’s collar for washing instruction. If that prove fruitless, soak shirt or garment in a sink of water with washing detergent and check for color run. Wash separately if necessary.
   
   
3. Separate and wash knitted wears or delicate clothing that shed fabric fiber like bath towels, chenille, flannel, sweat shirts and sweaters.
   Note: Linen, rayon, silk and wool fabrics are best left for the dry-cleaners.
   
   
4. Also, zap zippers, check shirts and pants pockets for paper and tissue left behind. These will spoil entire wash load with paper lint or fibers.
   
   
5. Remove and create another wash pile for fluorescent shirts or clothing colors like shocking pinks, brilliant green and blinding yellows. Over time these clothing tends to fade.
   
   
6. Pre-apply stain remover or laundry detergent to heavy stains. Read instruction on the product label when applying for the first time. Use liquid detergent on grease and oily stains. Powder detergent is best for earth stains (clay, mud and children’s yard clothing). Now you’re ready to load up and wash.
   
   
7. Use the measuring scoop found in the detergent box or cap from the liquid detergent bottle. Read and follow instructions; pour detergent in detergent dispenser or washer.
   
   
8. Select the water temperature for wash and rinse cycle. In general, choose warm or hot wash and rinse to keep white clothing white; and cold wash and rinse for colored and dark clothing.
   
   
9. Adjust water level to the load size and start the washer. Allow the water to dissolve the detergent. If needed, add bleach for the white clothing and allow bleach to mix well.
   
   
10. When the washer water level reaches the half way mark, you can begin placing sorted shirts and clothing. Do not over load the washer, the clothing needs room to wash properly.
    
    
11. Close the washing machine lid while the clothing is being washed.
    
    
12. During the refilling for the rinse cycle, add you favorite softener. The total wash and rinse cycle is 45 minutes.
