Answer 1

Sorting the clothes for laundering should be according to colour of the clothes, size of the colours, and degree of dirt in the clothes.

Explanation:

Sorting of clothes for laundering should be done according to the following parameters:

1. Fibre or texture: Cottons together, silks, and woollen separately.
2. Size: Large items, such as table linen and bed linen, should be separated from smaller personal items.
3. Colour: Coloured clothes should be separated from white ones.
4. Degree of dirt: Heavily soiled clothes need extra soaping, steeping, and rubbing, so these should be washed separately from lightly soiled clothes.
