Laundry Basics Done Right: Sorting & Dosing
How to sort clothes and dose correctly for great results every time
Why good laundry starts before the wash
Many common laundry problems begin before the machine is even on. Mixed colours, overloaded drums, and habitual overdosing can all lead to dull fabrics, residue, or less effective cleaning.
One small but important detail is how detergent is added. Using the Savex cap to measure the right amount, then placing it directly in the drum with the laundry, helps distribute the detergent more evenly through the load — for better contact with fabrics, cleaner rinsing, and less build-up in the machine over time.
Build a routine that works every time
Three habits cover the basics: sort by colour and fabric, leave the drum room to move, and dose to the real load. Build them into every wash and a routine cycle becomes a visibly better one.
-
Sort by colour and fabric type
Separate whites, lights, colours, and darks before every wash, and keep heavy items such as towels, bedding, and denim apart from lighter garments. This reduces dye transfer, limits friction between fabrics, and gives each load more suitable washing conditions.
-
Do not overload the drum
Clothes need space to move so water and detergent can circulate properly. When the drum is too full, dirt stays trapped more easily and rinsing becomes less effective. A well-balanced load helps the whole wash perform better.
-
Dose accurately with the Savex cap
Match the detergent to the real load, not to habit — less for small or light loads, more for fuller or heavily soiled ones. Measure with the Savex cap and place it directly in the drum so the liquid spreads evenly, improving performance and reducing residue.
Quick check before you press start
Your pre-wash checklist
- Whites, lights, colours, and darks separated
- Heavy fabrics kept away from lighter garments
- Drum loaded with enough room for movement
- Detergent measured to the actual load
- Savex cap placed directly in the drum with the laundry
Sort well, load correctly, and dose with precision — these small steps improve cleaning, help protect fabrics, and make every wash more effective from the start.
