Laundry Tips

This section reviews proper laundering techniques and gives you additional washing

information.

Preparing clothes for washing

• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid

snagging other items. Remove

pins, buckles, and other hard

objects to avoid scratching the

washer interior. Remove non

washable trim and ornaments.

• Empty pockets and turn them inside out.

• Turn down cuffs, brush away lint and dirt.

• Turn synthetic knits inside out to avoid

pilling.

• For unstable dyes, India ink, denims,

noncolorfast garments, turn items

inside out.

• Tie strings and sashes so they will not

tangle.

• Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

• Treat spots and stains. (See “Removing

Stains” on pages 20-22.)

• Stained or wet garments should be

washed promptly for best results.

Sorting

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly

soiled ones, even if they would

normally be washed together.

Separate lint givers (towels,

chenille) from lint takers

(corduroy, synthetics, perma

nent press). When possible, turn lint givers

inside out.

Separate dark colors from light colors,

colorfast items from noncolorfast items.

Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy

cottons, knits, delicate items).

Loading

• Drop items into washer loosely. Fill to the

O

top of the basket (top row of

holes). Do not wrap items

around the agitator. Items

should move easily through

________

wash water for best cleaning

and wrinkle-free results. Items should sink

and reappear later.

• Load washer properly and select correct

load size setting. Overloading or packing

the machine, and selecting a setting too

small for the wash load can:

- cause poor cleaning.

- increase wrinkling.

- create excessive lint.

- wear out items faster (because of pilling).

Load by the amount of space items take

up, not by their weight.

Mix large and small items in each load.

Load evenly to maintain

washer balance. An off

balance load can make the

washer vibrate during spin.

' Use a large load size setting to reduce

wrinkling with permanent press clothes

and some synthetic knits. These items

should have more room to move in the

water than heavy items (towels, jeans).

' Reduce wash time when using a small

load size setting. Loads with only a few

small items need less wash time.
