STEP 3 Use a laundry net
•Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.
•Cashmilon, large volume garments, and lightweight clothes
•Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that could move the washing machine and result in injury.
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
•To remove stains and dirt on collars, sleeves, hems, and pockets, apply detergent lightly and brush off.
•Use powder or liquid detergents. Do not use soap, as this may remain on the tub after washing.
•Prewash white socks, sleeves, and collars with a little detergent and a brush.
