Do you have a college student in your family ready to move away from home or head to a college campus? Among the many things that your college student needs will be making sure he or she knows how to do their laundry properly. Whether they decide to do their own laundry at the laundromat or use a local drop-off laundry service, taking care of laundry is a key life skill.  

You have loads of work to do and still need to get your laundry done. With no time to waste, you hurriedly put your dirty clothes and other items in the washing machine and rush out. When you come back and take clothes out from the washer, you are shocked to see your favorite shirt with a big ink blotch on the pocket or your skirt with a rip or tear. You realize, if you had checked your clothes before using a washing machine, you could have prevented all of this!
