Sorting Laundry & Loading
the Washer
Grouping Similar Items
For the best washing results, and to reduce the
possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothing into
loads made up of similar items.
Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can
result in poor wash performance, color transfer,
discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics
should be sorted into groups as described below.
Colors
Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes separately
from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes
with light clothes can result in dye transfer or
discoloration of the lighter clothes.
Soil Level
Wash heavily soiled clothing in the full-sized
washer. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the
same load with heavily soiled clothing could result
in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled
clothing. The pedestal washer is optimized for use
with lightly soiled and delicate items.
Fabric Care Labels
Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label. Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option
selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Fabric Type
Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavy or
sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics with
delicates can result in poor wash performance for
the heavy fabrics and possible damage to the
delicates.
Lint Type
Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while
others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid
mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in
the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in
pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For
example, lint collector - knit sweater; lint producer
- terry cloth towels.)
