Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
• 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.
• Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.
• Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
• Treat spots and stains.
• Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best
results.
Unloading
• Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed.
Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if
left in the washer basket for a long time.

Sorting
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if

(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.
• Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from
non-colorfast items.
• Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate
items).
