To wash clothes, you put a "load" of dirty clothes into the washing machine. Then you add detergent and switch it on. You have to set the water temperature and the type of wash cycle you want, to match what you want the clothes to come out like. The idea is that you want the water to wash the dirt off the clothes, but you also want the clothes to shrink and get cleaner, so you have to pick the appropriate water temperature and wash cycle.

Well, I'm glad you've been wanting to do laundry for a long time.  If you'd like, I can help you learn how to do it.  In the short term, I can tell you what to do in the next hour, and how to read the machine that you're using.  Long term, I can also suggest and teach you how to do your laundry on a regular basis.
