Sorting
•Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together.
•Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from
Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Color (White, Lignts, Darks) Lint (Lint producers, Collectors)
Separate clothes according to amount of soil. Separate white clothes from colored clothes. Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.
Loading
•Drop items into washer loosely. Items should move easily through wash water for best cleaning and
•Load washer properly and select correct load size setting.
Overloading 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)
•Mix large and small items in each load. Load evenly to maintain washer balance.
An unbalanced load can make the washer vibrate during spin.
•Reduce wash time when using a small load size setting. Load with only a few small items needs less wash time.
•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)
