Doing laundry seems simple—but even small mistakes can damage clothes or reduce their lifespan. Whether you’re washing at home or using a laundry service, here are the most common laundry mistakes and how you can avoid them with help from Qondri.

1. Overloading the Washing Machine

Piling in too many clothes prevents proper cleaning and causes fabric friction. Always follow your machine’s capacity limit or trust professionals to ensure every garment gets a proper clean.

2. Using Too Much Detergent

More detergent doesn’t mean cleaner clothes. In fact, it can leave residue, cause skin irritation, and dull your clothes over time. Use the recommended amount for best results.

3. Ignoring the Care Label

Washing silk like cotton or tossing a “dry-clean only” item in the machine can cause irreversible damage. Always check the label—or let our team at Qondri handle it with care and precision.

4. Not Sorting Clothes Properly

Mixing lights and darks, or delicate fabrics with heavy ones, leads to color bleeding and wear. Professional laundry services sort items by fabric and color to maintain their quality.

5. Using High Heat for Everything

High heat can shrink, fade, or weaken fabric fibers. Air-drying and using low heat settings are better for most clothes—something we prioritize at Qondri to preserve garment quality.
