Doing laundry may seem simple, but small mistakes can cause serious damage to your clothes. At La Esquina Habanera, we’ve seen all kinds of laundry disasters — from color bleeding to shrunken shirts. If you live and want to protect your clothes, avoid these five common laundry mistakes:
Stuffing too much laundry at once reduces water circulation and detergent effectiveness. Your clothes come out half-clean and worn out.
💡 Tip: Wash in smaller loads to protect fabrics and improve results.
More soap doesn’t mean cleaner clothes. Excess detergent can build up in fibers and make them stiff or cause skin irritation.
💡 Tip: Follow the detergent label and your washer’s recommendation.
High temperatures can shrink fabrics and fade colors — especially delicate or synthetic materials.
💡 Tip: Use cold or warm water for most garments.
Those tiny labels actually matter! Ignoring them may cause shrinking, stretching, or fading.
💡 Tip: Sort clothes by care instructions before washing.
Some items like comforters, rugs, or curtains need special care. Washing them at home could cause permanent damage.
💡 Tip: Trust a local laundry expert like La Esquina Habanera for professional results.
