Laundry Tips

This section reviews proper laundering techniques and gives you additional washing information.

Preparing clothes for washing

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. (See “Removing Stains” on pages 17-19.)

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, perma-

nent press). When possible, turn lint givers inside out.

Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from noncolorfast items.

Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).

Loading

Drop items into washer loosely. Fill to the top of the basket (top row of holes). Do not wrap items around the agitator. Items

should move easily through wash water for best cleaning

and wrinkle-free results. Items should sink and reappear later.

Load washer properly and select correct load size setting. Overloading or packing the machine, and selecting a setting too small for the wash load can:

cause poor cleaning.

increase wrinkling.

create excessive lint.

wear out items faster (because of pilling).

Load by the amount of space items take up, not by their weight.

Mix large and small items in each load. Load evenly to maintain

washer balance. An off- balance load can make the washer vibrate during spin.

Use a large load size setting to reduce wrinkling with permanent press clothes and some synthetic knits. These items should have more room to move in the water than heavy items (towels, jeans).

Reduce wash time when using a small load size setting. Loads with only a few small items need less wash time.
