It is advisable to wear gloves to do this work, especially if you have to remove stains or treat clothes (eg collars and cuffs)
It is very important to empty pockets to prevent accidents (eg washing metallic things, pen ink is also very dangerous, Pocket tissues disintegrate and mess up all the clothes, all this can be avoided by checking the pockets)
Shirts are better washed unbuttoned (collars and cuffs)
On the other hand, it is better that zippers and any hooks that clothing may have be closed. If clothes have ornaments or accessories that can be removed is better to remove them
