Protect Your Wardrobe: Why Turning Clothes Inside Out Before Washing Matters

ADVERTISEMENT

Delicates:
For lingerie, lace, or silk garments, combine turning inside out with placing them in mesh laundry bags.

Embellished Clothing:
Items with sequins, embroidery, or prints benefit the most from being turned inside out, reducing snags and fading.

Dark and Bright Colors:
Fabrics that are prone to fading, such as dark jeans or bright-colored shirts, stay vibrant longer when washed inside out.

FAQs:
Q: Does turning clothes inside out prevent pilling?
A: Yes! Pilling happens from friction, and flipping clothes inside out protects the visible fabric from rubbing against other garments.

Q: Is it necessary for all types of clothing?
A: While it’s especially important for delicate, dark, and printed items, making it a general habit helps preserve all kinds of fabrics.

Q: Should I still use a gentle cycle?
A: Absolutely. Turning clothes inside out complements a gentle cycle, but the two work best together for maximum fabric care.

Q: Will inside-out drying affect the smell of clothes?
A: Not at all! As long as your clothes are fully dry before storing, they’ll stay fresh whether dried inside out or right side out.
