It pays to check and prepare clothes for washing.

●Empty pockets, brush out cuffs, zip zippers, snap snaps, hooks and buttons.

Soaking and Pretr-ting-a good way to loosen deep soils and stains.

A thorough soaking with detergent or special soaking agent is another way to remove heavy soils, embedded dirt and even some stains.

Soaking can be either a completely separate washing step or a preliminary step to a complete wash cycle. For detailed information on how to soak in your washer, see How to Use the Soak Cycle.

FOR INFORMATION ON SOAKING AGENTS, see Other Laundry Produck Guide.

●Pretreat heavy soil by rubbing in a small amount of liquid detergent or a paste made of water and powdered detergent or soap. For best results, wait 1/2 hour before washing.
