Clothing with zippers, buttons, and other fasteners requires a little extra attention during laundry.

Simple preparation can help protect both the garment and other items in the same load.

Close Zippers

Closing zippers before washing can help prevent them from catching on other garments.

Check Buttons

Loose or damaged buttons should be addressed before washing when possible.

Turn Certain Garments Inside Out

For suitable clothing, turning garments inside out can reduce direct friction on the outer surface.

Choose an Appropriate Cycle

Follow the care label for the correct washing method.

Conclusion

Preparing clothing before washing is a simple way to improve garment care and reduce avoidable laundry problems.
