Sorting Laundry
• To get the best results, sort clothes into loads
that can be washed with the same wash
cycle.
• Different fabrics need to be washed at varying
temperatures and spin speeds.
• Wash two or more towels or knits together. If
washed separately, laundry which absorbs a
lot of water may not be washed well or
abnormal spin-drying may occur due to
leaning.
• Always sort dark colours from pale colours
and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint
transfer can occur causing discolouration of
white and pale garments. If possible, do not
wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled
ones.
NOTE
• Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) :
Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
• Colour (White, Lights, Darks):
Separate white fabrics from coloured fabrics.
• Lint (Lint producers, Collectors):
Wash lint producers and lint collectors
separately.
Wash / Fabric type
Caring Laundry 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 unbalanced load. Add one
or two similar items.
• Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as nails, hair clips,
matches, pens, coins and keys can damage
both your washing machine 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 small
amount of detergent dissolved water onto
stains to help lift dirt.
CAUTION
• Do not wash or spin any item labeled or
known to be water-proof or water-resistant,
even if the product care label on the item
permits machine washing. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in severe
damage to your laundry, your washing
machine and/or property damage as a result
of abnormal vibration of the washing machine.
• Examples of water-proof or water-resistant
items include certain mattress pads, mattress
covers, rain gear, camping gear, skiing
apparel, outdoor gear and similar items.
