■ Caring before washing
1 . C are L a b els
Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your
garm ent and how it should be washed.

To get the best results, Sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.
Water temperature and spin speed and different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.
Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. W ash separately as dye and lint
transfer can occur causing discoloration of w hite etc. If possible, do not wash heavily
soiled items with lightly soiled one.

■ 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.
Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
W ash lint producers and lint collectors
separately.
• Check all pockets to make sure
that they are empty. Items such as
nails, hair clip, matches, pens,
coins and keys can damage both
your washer and your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks and strings to
make sure that these items don't
snag on other clothes.
■ Pre treat dirt and stains by brushing
a little detergent dissolved in water
onto stains like collars and cuffs to
help shift dirt.
