Fabric Care Labels

Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels

that include instructions for proper care.

For best results, sort clothes into loads that can

be washed with the same wash cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements.
Always wash dark colors separately from light

colors and whites to prevent discoloration. If

possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with

lightly soiled ones. The chart below shows

recommended groupings.

Loading the Washer

Check all pockets to make sure that they

are empty. Items such as clips, matches,

pens, coins, and keys can damage both your

washer and your clothes.

• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to

prevent these items from snagging or tangling

on other clothes.

• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load

large items first.

• Large items should not be more than half of the

total washload.

• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum

should not be tightly packed with items. The

door of the washer should close easily.

• To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash

single items. Add one or two similar items to

the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket,

comforter, or bedspread should be washed

individually.

• Do not wash or spin waterproof clothes.
• When unloading the washer, check under the

door seal for small items.

NOTE: The front loading washer rotates the

wet laundry to wash it with less water. If you

do not see the water during washing, it is not

a problem because the laundry is sufficiently

wet.
