Advice for laundry in the UAE heat
UAE laundry guides
Washing clothes here isn't the same job it is in a cooler country. Summer heat means more sweat on every shirt, yellow marks under the arms and gym kit that smells again by lunchtime. Fine sand works its way into towels, curtains and the bottom of every bag. Black abayas fade if they're washed too hot, and a white kandura shows every speck. These guides take one problem at a time and explain what's going on in the fibre, what you can safely try at home and when it's better handed to someone with the right equipment. No jargon, no lectures. Choose a subject from the buttons above the cards, or scroll down and read whichever catches your eye.
