$AVING YOU MONEY: Laundry mistakes can be costly By Cathy SpauldingPhoenix Staff Writers Dry cleaning also helps with other tough cleaning challenges. “If it’s a greasy stain, dry cleaning is the best method,” she said. “Dry cleaning is a safer process and it’s a much gentler cycle.” Dry cleaning uses a solvent instead of water to wash clothes. Clothes that get soiled or sweaty should be washed after wearing, she said. Still, there are some instances in which clothes can be worn a few times before having to be washed, she said. “If you wear a dress to church but didn’t get anything on it, you can wait,” she said. Crockett said winter clothes or summer clothes also should be washed before they are put away for the season. Cooper said one problem he sees with his customers is that “they try to overload the equipment.” As for drying clothes, Cooper said people must keep the lint filter clean. He said he prefers drying with a clothes line rather than a dryer. “If you have a clothes line and you get used to it, there’s nothing better to lay on than a freshly dried sheet,” he said. 7 ways to wash clothes inexpensively • Unless you can adjust the water level, wait until you have a full load before running washer or dryer. • Wash in cold water whenever possible, especially dark colors.
