This section reviews proper laundering
techniques,
gives you additional
washing
information
and
discusses
solutions to common
laundering
problems.
Before
you wash
Preparing
clothes
for washing
l
Empty pockets and turn them inside out.
l
Turn down cuffs and brush away lint and dirt.
l
Turn synthetic
knits inside out to avoid pilling.
. Close zippers,
snaps and hooks to avoid
snagging
other items. Remove
pins, buckles
and other hard objects to avoid scratching
the washer interior.
. Remove
unwashable
trim and ornaments.
l
Tie strings and sashes so they will not
tangle.
l
Mend tears, loose hems and seams.
l
Treat spots and stains. (See page 15 for
pretreatment
and stain removal information.)
l
Stained or wet garments
should be washed
promptly
for best results.
Sorting
l
Separate
dark from light colors, colorfast
from noncolorfast.
l
Sort by fabric and construction
(sturdy
cottons, knits, delicate
items).
l
Separate
heavily soiled items from lightly
soiled ones even if they would normally
be
washed together.
l
Separate
lint givers (towels, chenille) from
lint takers (corduroy,
synthetics,
permanent
press). When possible,
turn lint givers inside
out.
Loading
l
Load washer properly.
Overloading
or
packing can:
-cause
poor cleaning.
-increase
wrinkling.
-create
excessive
lint.
-wear
out items faster (because
of pilling).
l
Load by the amount of space items take
up,
not by their weight.
l
Drop items into washer loosely. Fill to the top
of the basket, but do not pack or wrap items
around the agitator.
l
Items should move easily through wash
water for best cleaning
and wrinkle-free
results. Watch for rollover. Items should sink
and reappear
later.
l
Mix large and small items in each load. Load
evenly to maintain washer balance.
An off-
balance
load can make the machine vibrate
during spin.
l
To reduce wrinkling,
permanent
press and
synthetic
knits should have more room to
move in the water than heavy items (towels,
jeans).
