1. Fabric Care Labels
Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your
garment and how it should be washed.
2. Sorting
To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash
cycle.
Different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.
Always sort dark colors from ale colors and whites. Wash se arately as dye and lint
transfer can occur causing discoloration of white clothing. If ossible, do not wash
heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.
Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
Lint (Lint Producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.
3. Check before loading
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.
Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.
Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar
items.
• Check all the ockets to make sure that they
are em ty. Things such as cli , matches,
ens, coins, and keys can damage both your
washer and your clothes.
• Close zi ers, hooks, and strings to make
sure that these items do not snag on other
clothes.
• Pretreat dirt and stains by brushing a little
detergent dissolved in water onto stains like
collars and cuffs to hel lift dirt.
