Run an extra rinse cycle. Seriously. You want every last bubble of detergent gone. Residual soap is sticky and attracts more dirt. It’s like leaving frosting on a plate and wondering why ants show up. Do a second rinse. Your jacket will thank you.
When the spin cycle ends, do not wring it out. Twisting wet fabric is like yelling at a wet noodle—it hurts the structure. Instead, gently squeeze out the excess water. Or just let the machine spin it dry. That’s what it’s for.
