So true about checking the pockets. I have found this especially important since having kids. We have had an entire load of clothes ruined by a stray crayon in the pocket of one of the kids. Also had a permanent marker wind up in there before. Yikes that was not pretty,

Of course! by: Michelle
My mom taught me all these things, too. I've never had a laundry accident because of it -- thanks, mom! Another one she taught me is to never overfill the washing machine -- she swears it'll extend its life, plus your clothes get much cleaner when they have plenty of room to dance!

Crayon's in dryer by: Anonymous
A great tip. I've sent a crayon or two through the wash in the past and haven't cared for the results.

Great Tip by: Anonymous
When i was a kid my mom would always wash my dads work clothing with my clothing. Sometimes he would leave a pen in his pocket, and everything I had would be stained with pen ink! Even though it seems like a simple tip, its really worth following because sometimes in the haste of doing laundry we forget... and end washing our phones, money, and more!
