LAUNDRY TIPS

Preparing clothes for washing

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.

■Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

■Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.

■Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.

■Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.

■Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

■Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

■Treat spots and stains.

■Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.
