Why should I separate my laundry by color?
Strong, dark-coloured garments are likely to bleed on to lighter-coloured garments if you don’t separate your laundry before washing. To avoid damaging other clothing and to maintain their quality for as long as possible, group dark, medium, and light-coloured garments separately.
What are the different types of laundry detergent?
There are liquid detergents, powder detergents, and laundry detergent pods that are currently on the market to choose from. When it comes to picking the right type of detergent, it’s important to review the ingredients on the label to see if they suit your laundry needs. From eco-friendly laundry washes to heavy-duty power pods, hypoallergenic laundry detergents, and more, Canadian Tire offers a wide variety of laundry detergents.
When is it safe to use bleach in my laundry?
Before using bleach, it’s always important to check the garment’s care label to see if it's safe for the fabric. When applying chlorine bleach to your laundry, you should always dilute it with water before using it. With oxygen bleach (powdered bleach), you add it to the wash water before you add the garments in. Never apply powdered bleach directly to wet clothes.
