PREPARING CLOTHES

FOR WASHING

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.

•Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

•Empty pockets and turn them inside out.

•Turn down cuffs, brush away lint and dirt.

•Turn synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling.

•Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

•Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

•Treat spots and stains.

•Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly' for best results.

SORTING

•Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together. Separate lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics, permanent press). When possible, turn lint givers inside out.

•Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from non-colorfast items.

•Sort by fabric and construction

(sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).
