Sort through your clothes and divide them into 7 different piles. If you are unsure what type of pile it should be in, read your clothing label to determine this.

The seven piles should be:
* Whites
* Dark Colors
* Bright Colors
* Permanent Press
* Delicates
* Heavily Soiled
* Dry Clean Only
* Wired Bras

Once you have divided your clothing into different piles you will then want to start up your washing machine, for each type of clothing setting. Remember to consult with your wash machine manual (which can be found on Needinstructions.com) on how to operate your wash machine.

Once you started up your washing machine on its pre-setting, you will want to add the detergent and bleach, “if your clothes are white” while the water fills up in the washing machine. Remember to read the directions on the detergent and bleach bottle on how much you will need to add for your wash.
