  1. Sorting: Separate your laundry into different piles based on fabric type, color, and care instructions. This helps prevent colors from bleeding and ensures that delicate fabrics are treated gently.

  2. Follow Care Labels: Always check the care labels on your clothing to determine the appropriate washing and drying settings. Some fabrics may require special care, such as cold water, gentle cycles, or air drying.

  3. Avoid Overloading: Don't overload your washing machine. Clothes need room to move and agitate properly. Overloading can lead to uneven washing and more wrinkles.

  4. Shake Before Drying: Before transferring your clothes to the dryer, give each item a good shake to remove excess water and help prevent wrinkles.

  5. Proper Drying: Use the appropriate heat setting on your dryer according to the fabric type. Overdrying can lead to wrinkles, so consider using a lower heat setting or opting for air drying when appropriate.

  6. Remove Clothes Promptly: As soon as the dryer cycle is complete, promptly remove your clothes. This prevents wrinkles from setting in due to the residual heat.

  7. Fold or Hang Immediately: If you can't fold your clothes right away, hang them up to prevent wrinkles. For items that need folding, do so neatly to minimize creases.

  8. Steam or Iron: If you notice any wrinkles on your clothes after folding or hanging, consider using a garment steamer or iron to remove them. Follow the garment's care instructions to avoid damaging the fabric.

  9. Store Properly: Store your clothes in a way that prevents wrinkles. For example, use padded hangers for delicate items, and avoid overcrowding your closet.

  10. Choose Wrinkle-Resistant Fabrics: When shopping for clothes, consider choosing fabrics that are less prone to wrinkles, such as wrinkle-resistant blends or synthetic materials.
