If you could save time and money when it comes to doing your laundry, wouldn’t you? With the price of detergent continuing to increase and with endless loads taking hours, the knowledgeable staff at Park Avenue Coin Laundry in Dothan, AL, wants to let you in on a few secrets to help you with this seemingly lengthy process.

If you think sorting your clothes while doing laundry is an old wives’ tale, think again. According to Park Avenue Coin Laundry, when done correctly, the ways in which you sort your laundry could actually save you time and money:

• Sort By Color: The most common method for sorting your laundry is by color. Most people know that they should wash the whites, the colors, and the darks all in separate loads. This is the best way to ensure your clothes won’t get ruined by being washed with a color that will bleed onto them, ultimately saving you from having to buy new ones.
• Sort By Soil: Another way to save your clothes from having to be replaced after a load of laundry is to sort them by the amount of dirt they have on them. If you have heavily soiled clothes from working in a mechanic’s shop or outside, separate them from any lightly soiled clothing to keep your colors bright. This can also help you save time by avoiding excess loads, should the heavily soiled clothes dirty the lightly soiled load.
• Sort By Lint: For laundry that loses a lot of lint, such as sweaters, robes, and flannels, run them in a separate load as well. If you were to wash them with laundry that attracts lint, such as corduroys and permanent press clothes, you might find yourself having to run an extra load just to get the lint off of them.

To save you even more time, Park Avenue Coin Laundry also offers drop-off and fold services, along with their do-it-yourself washers and dryers. Call today at (334) 678-0800 for more information; don’t forget to like them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter for updates.
