Dirtiness
–Sort the garments according to how dirty they are, and treat any which are especially dirty or have some particu- lar stain.
–Treat any very dirty parts beforehand, especially the collars and cuffs.

–Select a normal Washing Programme for normal dirty garments.
–Select a Long Programme with Prewash for very dirty garments.
