Preparation

Before you begin washing, taking a few simple steps will help you have a better washing experience and save wear and tear on your clothing as well.

1)Read factory labels for washing instructions

2)Pre-treating heavily soiled areas will also improve washing results.

3)Obtain and use Majestic™ Low Suds Laundry Soap or any other commer≠cial brand that keeps over sudsing in check. Use 1 to 2 ounces.

4)Your Majestic™ has over 13 different wash cycles that can last as long as 120 minutes or as short as 35. Select the one that is right for the load.

Sorting

Separate laundry according to fabric type, color and how dirty things are. Also consider separating clothing that generate lint from clothes that do not typically generate much lint. Cottons, synthetics, and woolen fabrics for starters. Color fast products vs. those that might bleed and fade on to other clothing. What size load? A good rule of thumb is that clothes should be visible in the window of the machine from 1/2 to 2/3’s full.

Inspecting

This goes without saying, but check pockets for loose change, and other hidden impediments. Fastening all zippers, hooks, and buttons will prevent damage to garments and to the machine. Turning knit garments inside out will also protect the garment. Using a mesh laundry pouch for delicate items such as tights and stockings,bras, shoulder pads and underwear can prevent tangling. Also, if a garment is torn or damaged, washing and drying will only make it worse. Take a minute and do a bit of mending. It will enhance fabric care in the long run.

Pre-Wash treatments

Your laundry appliance has a built in assistant to take care of your pre-wash feature. Besides indi≠vidually treating garments as need arises, also consider using a longer wash cycle if necessary that includes use of the pre-wash section of the detergent drawer. Often children’s play clothes and men’s work clothes take a beating and can use some extra cycles to come clean.

Helpful laundry hints

Detergent - Because this is a front loading machine, your Majestic™ requires less of almost everything, from laundry detergent to fabric softener to bleach. LOW SUDS detergents are even more convenient in a front loader, because of the efficiency of clothes on clothes agitation. FABRIC SOFTENER can actually improve dry times, but NEVER USE SOFTENER SHEETS OR OVERUSE SOFTNER. It could cause damage to your machine. And using bleach can whiten clothes when nothing else will. Always dilute bleach before using. Too much bleach can damage fabrics.
