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.
SORTING
• Separate heavily soiled items from light-
ly soiled ones, even if they
would normally be washed together.
Separate lint givers (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).
