LINT PRODUCERS—such as terry toweling and chenille—give up lint.

LINT COLLECTORS—such as man-made fibers and napped fabrics like velveteen and corduroy—attract lint. These must be washed separately.

For more information on lint control, see The Problem Solver section.

For instructions on different fabrics and loads, see the Controls Setting Guide.

It pays to check and prepare clothes for washing.

Empty pockets, brush out cuffs, zip zippers, snap snaps, hooks and buttons.

Do any necessary mending—rips, hems, tears.

Check all items for areas of heavy soil or stain.

Remove stains. See Stain Removal Guide.

Turn poly knits inside-out to minimize fabric surface damage.

Soaking and Pretr-ting-a good way to loosen deep soils and stains.

A thorough soaking with detergent or special soaking agent is another way to remove heavy soils, embedded dirt and even some stains.

Soaking can be either a completely separate washing step or a preliminary step to a complete wash cycle. For detailed information on how to soak in your washer, see How to Use the Soak Cycle.

FOR INFORMATION ON SOAKING AGENTS, see Other Laundry Produck Guide.

Pretreat heavy soil by rubbing in a small amount of liquid detergent or a paste made of water and powdered detergent or soap. For best results, wait 1/2 hour before washing.
