PREPARE LAUNDRY
•
Check garment labels for manufacturer's washing instructions.
•
Empty pockets and turn them inside out.
•
Turn down cuffs and remove any lint or dirt.
•
Tie strings and sashes so they don't tangle.
•
Close zippers, snaps and hooks to avoid snagging.
•
Remove loose items (pins, bobby pins, coins, rings, earrings, napkins, etc.) from
clothes to prevent scratching of the wash basket or clogging the drain pump.
•
Pretreat all stains and heavily soiled areas.
•
Turn synthetic and wool knits inside out to avoid pilling.
SORT LAUNDRY
•
Sort laundry by the type of wash cycle required (water temperature and wash
action).
•
Separate light colors from dark colors and colorfast items from non-colorfast
items.
•
Separate heavy duty fabrics from light weight fabrics.
•
Separate fabrics that attract lint from fabrics that give off lint.
STEP 2 - ADD FABRIC CARE PRODUCTS
ADD DETERGENT
•
Use only High Efficiency detergent. HE detergents are speci cally
formulated with ingredients to avoid problems caused by too
many soap suds. Excess suds will prevent the complete rinsing of
detergent residue from clothes.
•
Pour liquid or powder detergent and color safe bleach directly into the wash
basket before loading clothes.
NOTE: The proper amount of detergent depends on the size of the load, the soil
level of the clothes, and the softness of the water being supplied to the washer.
