Washing tips and hints
Sorting your laundry:Sort your laundry according to the following char-
acteristics:
•Type of fabric care label symbol:Sort laundry into cottons, mixed
fibers, synthetics, silks, wools and rayon.
•Color: Divide whites and colors. Wash new, colored items separately.
•Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the
washing action.
•Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash
program for pure new wool, curtains and silk articles. Check the labels
on the items you are washing or refer to the fabric care chart in the
appendix.
Emptying pockets:Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage linen,
the washing machine drum, and the water tank.
Securing fasteners:Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts
or ribbons should be tied together.
Prewashing cotton:Cotton, Synthetic, Delicate prewash are not
normally necessary. Your new washing machine, combined with modern
detergents, will give perfect washing results, thus saving energy, time, water
and detergent. However, if your cotton is particularly dirty, use a prewash
with a protein-based detergent.
