Before Washing

Prepare Wash Load

Empty Pockets and Cuffs

Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside
out. One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, support wires
from bras (recommended to be washed in a garment
bag), nail or sharp object in a load can catch laundry
and cause tears or damage the machine. Facial tissue
left in a pocket will produce extreme “lint.” A crayon
or lipstick in a wash load may cause stains that cannot
be removed. Roll down cuffs and shake out grass,
sand, and gravel.

Mend Rips and Tears

Little holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend
holes and tears before placing garments in the washer.

Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks

These can catch on garments in a wash load and tear
them. Tie belts and sashes so they won’t wind around
clothes.

Remove Nonwashable Trim

Check for colourfastness by squeezing a portion of
garment in warm or hot sudsy water. If the colour
bleeds or runs, wash the item separately in cold water.
