What To Do
• Avoid mixing heavy items
(like work clothes) with
light items (like blouses).
•
Try a fabric softener.
• Load your washer so
clothes have enough room
to move freely.
•
Match Cycle selection to
the type of fabric you are
washing (especially for easy
care loads).
•
Wash in warm or cold water
with plenty of detergent.
• Switch to a lower sudsing
detergent brand and
follow instructions on
package.
•
Try less detergent.
• Fasten snaps, hooks,
buttons, and zippers.
•
Remove loose items like
pins, objects in pockets
and sharp buttons.
• Turn knits (which snag
easily) inside out.
•
Check bleach package
instructions for proper
amount.
• Never add undiluted
bleach to wash or allow
clothes to come in contact
with undiluted bleach.
•
Rinse items that may have
chemicals on them before
washing.
