...is keeping my white shirts white, and not fading to a musty cream after they had a few rounds in the wash.
We used to have a helper who hand washed our clothes, but as she has retired since then, I've been using the washing machine to wash my working shirts. I'm probably not very good at it yet, because I've just stained my most expensive cotton shirts working shirts a light pink. (On the plus side, hey, new working shirt!)
When staring at my shirt in horror, the mother came and told me off for putting my working shirts in the washing machine instead of handwashing them (apparently, all this could be averted if only I had just been more industrious by immediately washing my shirts after I've worn them, instead of chucking them all in the wash).
But... what's the point of owning a washing machine if I'm going to end up washing all my working shirts by hand anyway?
Next time, I'll just separate the whites from the color clothes when doing laundry. To heck with water conservation and all.
