Doing Laundry for Beginners: How to Keep Your Favorite Pieces Beautiful for Longer

An important job interview is coming up and there is a stain on your fine blouse? Off to the washing machine it goes! With a targeted pre-wash program, you can pre-treat such stains and prepare them perfectly for the main wash. If you want your lucky T-shirt or best pants to stay looking great for a long time, we recommend a program for delicates and/or lower temperatures. This protects the colors and cares for the fibers.


Baby clothes have to withstand a lot and need to be particularly hygienic. Here, a wash program with higher temperatures and an extra rinse cycle is ideal to reliably remove all residues and treat the clothes gently. Your bedding and towels also deserve special attention. They should be washed at least at 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius) to give dust mites and bacteria no chance.


For sensitive textiles like silk underwear, hand washing with a special detergent is the safest choice. And for those very special items, like a high-quality suit or an expensive down jacket, occasional professional dry cleaning is recommended.

What Types of Detergent Are There?

First of all, detergents come in liquid or powder form. Liquid detergents dissolve quickly in water and are particularly suitable for low washing temperatures and short wash cycles. Powder detergents are usually more effective on stubborn stains and at higher temperatures.


  • All-purpose detergents are the all-rounders among detergents and are especially suitable for white laundry and heavy soiling. They contain bleaching agents and optical brightors that ensure a brilliant white.
  • Color detergents do not contain bleaching agents and are therefore great for colorful textiles. They help to preserve the colors in your clothes even after many washes.
  • Delicate detergents are designed for sensitive fabrics like wool and silk. They clean gently and protect the delicate fibers to keep the garments soft and in shape.
  • Specialty detergents are available for a variety of applications, such as sportswear, which often has breathable and water-repellent properties. Or for black and dark textiles to minimize fading and avoid detergent stains.

Drying Laundry: Fresh Air or Dryer – Which Is Better?

Air drying is the most eco-friendly method, as it requires no energy other than the sun and wind. If you have the space, hanging your laundry outside or on a drying rack inside the house is a great way to save energy and protect your clothes. The sun's UV rays also have an antibacterial effect and can even help bleach out stains. However, this method is obviously not very effective in high humidity, rain, or snow.


Dryers are a great solution if your daily routine is particularly hectic, you have a large family, or you don't have space to set up a drying rack. Modern appliances are equipped with energy-saving programs and no longer consume as much electricity as they used to.


Washer-dryers are a practical combination of a washing machine and a dryer, making them ideal for households where space is at a premium. They allow you to wash and dry laundry in a single cycle, which saves time and minimizes the overall effort of washing and drying.


Note, however, that not all textiles are dryer-safe. Delicate fabrics like silk and lace can be damaged in the dryer. Garments with embroidery, sequins, or appliques, swimwear, and sheer tights should also preferably be air-dried.


Hanging Laundry Correctly: Drying Racks, Rotary Dryers, Clotheslines

Drying racks are versatile and ideal for indoor use. You can easily set them up and fold them away when not in use. At Lidl, you will find models that can be accommodated even in the smallest corner.


Rotary dryers offer a lot of line space in a small area and are perfect for the yard or garden. They utilize space vertically and allow for good air circulation – so jeans, sweaters, and more dry faster.


Wall-mounted folding dryers are super practical for small rooms, balconies, and even bathrooms. They are mounted on the wall and can be folded out when needed.


Ironing Laundry: Is It Even Necessary?

For many, ironing is a tedious chore that they would gladly skip. It is quite time-consuming and can be pretty exhausting. But while you can skip ironing for many modern wrinkle-resistant fabrics, there are garments that you absolutely should iron. These include:

  • Shirts and blouses, especially if they are made of cotton or linen,
  • Pants with creases,
  • Suits and fine dresses, to maintain their fit and elegant look.

At Lidl, you will find a selection of irons and steam stations that make this task easier for you. With the right appliances, ironing truly becomes child's play and won't test your patience!


Laundry Care: 5 Tips to Get the Best Out of Your Wardrobe Every Day

  1. Use laundry bags: For particularly delicate garments or those with small parts, such as underwear with hooks or baby clothes, laundry bags are ideal. They protect the textiles during the washing process and prevent delicate pieces from getting snagged or damaged.
  2. Use lint rollers: Lint brushes or rollers are inexpensive and essential helpers to keep your clothes looking clean and neat. For larger areas or frequent lint removal, electric fabric shavers are a great option.
  3. Air out clothes: Not every garment needs to be washed after a single wear. Simply hang it in a well-ventilated area or outside in the shade to remove odors and preserve freshness.
  4. Freshen up with a garment steamer: 5-6 bursts of steam and the shirt already looks great! With a garment steamer, you can quickly smooth out light wrinkles and freshen up your clothes without having to wash them. The garment steamer is particularly practical for delicate fabrics or garments that are difficult to iron.
  5. Store correctly: To ensure your textiles stay fresh and beautiful in the closet, you need to store them carefully. Fold them neatly or roll them to avoid wrinkles. Use breathable garment bags for delicate or rarely worn pieces, and make sure your closet is not too full so that air can circulate inside. By the way, for sweaters and knitwear, it is better to lay them flat instead of hanging them so they don't stretch out of shape.
