When we buy clothes, we should follow the instructions on the labels. Some clothes mustn´t be washed in the washing machine or on high temperature. If you shrink some clothes, they can become larger. Some clothes need dry cleaning, it means we have to take them to the drycleaner´s and have them cleaned there because otherwise they would be damaged.
As for washing we should separate white clothes from coloured, so that the white ones weren´t coloured.
