In a recent video, Jerry, who is a second generation dry cleaner, told viewers why they should always take the time to split up colored laundry, declaring it can keep clothes looking newer for longer. 'I'm a dry cleaner, and I hope this shows you why you should separate dark and light-colored clothing when doing laundry,' the professional cleaner said in the video.
'Dark clothes will always release dye, which will make your whites look old, gray, and dingy,' he continued. 'White clothes will leave white lint on your dark garments, which nobody wants,' he added. 'And while you're here, try washing your clothes in cold water, they'll last longer and fade less,' Jerry, who wrote The Laundry Book, which he wrote with his father, advised.
The need to separate light and dark colors is a hotly contested topic. 'Clothes with deep colors are more likely to run when washed,' the Tide website states. Separating your laundry into colors may seem like a thankless task, but according to an expert you should always be doing it (stock image).
