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).

Unloading

„Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed. Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if left in the washer basket for a long time.

„When unloading garments, occasionally check under the gray colored seal at the front of the tub for small items.
