1. Prepare and sort laundry
^ Empty all pockets.
,
Foreign objects left in pockets
(e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.)
can cause damage to clothes and
the machine.
^ Sort the laundry.
Only wash items that are labeled
machine washable by the manufacturer.
Most garments have a fabric care label
in the collar or side seam. Sort the
laundry by care label and color.
^ Pretreat stains.
Tough stains (blood, egg, coffee, tea,
etc.) or badly soiled areas (collars and
cuffs) should be pretreated with a stain
remover or a paste made from
powdered detergent and warm water.
– Dark fabrics often bleed the first few
times they are washed. They should
be washed separately several times
before being included in a mixed
load.
– Remove any lead weights or strips
from curtains before washing.
– Loose undergarment underwires
should be removed or sewn in place
before washing.
– Woolens and knitted garments
should be turned inside out.
– Close zippers, hooks and eyelets
before washing.
