Care labels
Care labels will tell you about the fabric of the garment and how it should be washed.
Soil
Sort clothes according to the type and amount of soil. Some soils suit warmer washes, eg. oily soils, while others are best washed in cold water, eg. mud, blood.
Colour
Sort white fabrics from coloured fabrics.
Lint
Wash lint givers and lint collectors separately. Where possible, turn lint collectors inside out.
Loading
Check pockets
Loose items can damage both your AquaSmart™ and your clothes.
Close zippers, hooks and eyes
This is to make sure that these items do not snag on other clothes.
Mend any torn garments or loose buttons Tears or holes may become larger during washing. Remove any loose bra wires as they can damage your washing machine and/or dryer.
Pretreat any stains
For a balanced load
Place unfolded clothes firmly and evenly around the low profile agitator.
