Why clothes shrink after washed?

The reason why clothes shrink when we wash them is because we wash them in cold water. Try washing them in warm water and do not add to much fabric softener because it can also ruin your clothes.


Does a washing machine clean clothes better than washing by hand?

yes. a hundred times better. Actually not necessarily. Washing by hand works extremely well if done properly. In fact, a company named Dyson in the UK actually designed a washing machine which better imitates the hand washing action to get the clothes cleaner. People tend to assume that just because something is automatic it works better, but this is not always true. Washing by hand does a much better job of flexing the fabric. Of course, it's a lot more work too.


Does it take more water to fill your washing machine with the clothes in it already or without the clothes in it?

Modern washing machines have sensors to make sure the amount of water used is correct. If the question is just a theoretical question than the clothes will trap air and so it will be more difficult to fill if there are clothes with as much water compared with filling an empty tub.

How do you get soap out of clothes?

You didn't mention if you were hand washing some of your clothes, or, you were washing them in the machine. If you are washing them in the washing machine then you are using too much soap. I use liquid soaps instead of powdered. I often find that powdered soap can stick to clothing sometimes and also clog up the hoses and drains faster. If you are hand washing then use a gentle detergent such as ivory or even baby soaps and let soak, drain out the soap water and replace with tepid to cool water (cold water gets suds out faster) then place your item you are hand washing on a thick towel (lay flat) and roll the towel up to get excess water out and then place the item on another towel that is dry and let air dry. When using your washing machine you should put in a box of baking soda and put through a cycle (you can also use some Dawn dish soap that cuts grease) and put your washing machine through a full cycle to prevent clog build up from soaps. I do this every 2 months.


Which uses less water for washing dishes?

Assuming you're running the dishwasher fully packed, then handwashing the same number of dishes would consume more water. Yet if you are running the dishwasher with not to much silverware it would save water to just hand wash them.
