Cleaning Clothes at Home

One main use of water at home is to wash clothes. This also

called laundry. Laundry at home is used in the following

steps: sorting, soaking, washing, rinsing, wringing, drying

and ironing.

Sorting

Sorting involves selecting and putting clothes together accord-
ing to colour, intensity of dirt, nature of the fabrics, use of

clothes, etc.

Soaking

Soaking is the putting clothes in soapy water for some time.

Soaking clothes:

 helps to loosen dirt and dissolve stains

 saves time during washing as it needs a little effort to re-

move it

 saves against from tear and wear due to constant rubbing

while washing
