Use and Care
Before Washing
Prepare Wash Load
Empty Pockets and Cuffs
Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside
out. One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail or sharp
object in a load can catch laundry and cause tears.
Facial tissue left in a pocket will produce extreme
“lint.” A crayon or lipstick in a wash load may cause
stains that cannot be removed. Roll down cuffs and
shake out grass, sand, and gravel.
Mend Rips and Tears
Little holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend
holes and tears before placing garments in the washer.
Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks
These can catch on garments in a wash load and tear
them. Tie belts and sashes so they won’t wind around
clothes.
Check for Colorfastness
Squeeze a portion of garment in warm or hot sudsy
water. If the color bleeds or runs, wash the item
separately in cold water.
Sort
Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few guidelines:
1. Sort by Color
Figure 1
2. Sort by Fabric and Construction
Figure 2
3. Sort by Care Label
Figure 3
4. Sort by Type and Amount of Soil
Children’s play clothes, as well as work clothes,
will need extra treatment. Lightly soiled clothes
can become dingy if washed with heavily soiled
items.
5. Sort Lint “Shedders” from Lint “Receivers”
Some fabrics attract lint and should not be
washed with lint-shedding loads. Lint shedders
are cottons, terry towels, chenille bedspreads,
rugs, and clothes which have been heavily
bleached.
Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or
durable press, knits (including socks), corduroy,
and other smooth fabrics.
