Can you soak the clothes overnight before washing?

Not recommended, it is best not to do so. If the clothes are soaked in water for too long, the fiber texture will begin to soften and become no longer strong. If it is tap water, because the water contains chlorine, clothes will be corroded by chlorine if they are soaked in it for a long time. Dirty clothes will rot if they are soaked in water for a long time. If there is bleach in the water, it will have a greater impact on clothes. Because the chlorine content in bleaching powder is high, it is also destructive to fibers.

It is the habit of many people to store clothes when they come back at night, and then put them in a big basin for one night before washing them. Although soaking clothes in bubbles can make it easier to wash away detergents and clothes stains in advance, it is not right to soak them overnight, because after a long time, these detergents will adhere to the fibers of clothes, and it will take many times to clean them, and it will also make clothes age and fade. Generally speaking, it is recommended to soak clothes 15 minutes.
