Laundry preparation

Sorting

Clothes should be sorted from separate items which could damage other garments. Sort items into loads according to similar colors, fabrics, garment construction and degrees of soil.

Color

Separate clothes into three groups: Whites and pastels, medium and bright colors, Dark colors. Items which bleed color should be washed alone.

Type of fabrics

Delicate items should be separated from sturdier items. Fabrics that shed lint should be separated from the ones which shed none or attract lint.

Garments constructions

Garments that may fray easily or that have unusual trim require gentle care. These garments may be washed in the loader using the knit cycle. If garments are fragile and delicare, hand washing may be desirable.

Degree of soil

Heavily sopiled items should be separated from the rest of the wash to prevent transfer of soil in the wash water.

Inspection

While sorting clothes into wash-loads, also inspect each garments to see if it requires special care

(see table fabric care on page 16).

Pretreating

Remove stains, while they are fresh and easy to get out. Try cold water first to remove unknown stains. Hot water sets stains containing protein such as blood, egg, meat and milk. To remove difficult stains, refer to the removal Chart on page 17.

Preatreat heavily soiled areas, such as collars, cuffs, and centers of pillowcases.

Mend rips and tears, before washing, so further damage is not done to garments.

Empty pockets.

Objects left in pockets such as crayon, pens or markers, or tobacco crumbs may stain an entire wash load. Paper issues will shred leaving bits on each item in the washer. Remove coins and other foreign object to prevent damage to the machine.

Fasten all hooks, zippers and buttons.

Turn knit garments wrong side

out to reduce the tendency of knits to “pill”. Fabric “pills” are balls of fibers on the surface of the garments and cause damage by wear or friction.

Remove loose dirt and sand.

Brush dirt from trouser cuffs; shake or vacuum rugs to remove loose surface soil.

If buckle is washable,

place a scrap of material securely around the ornament before washing and drying to prevent scratching and damage to the machine. Remove non-washable trims, buckles, buttons and belts.

Tie strings

belts and apron sashes into bows to avoid tangling during washing.

Before loading the washer, make sure the drum is empty.

Prewash

Prewash excessively soiled clothes, such as work or children’s clothes.

They often get very soiled. Prewashing with detergent will help loosen the soil
