COMMON LAUNDRY PROBLEMS (cont’d)
Problem Possible Cause
Empty all pockets and turn inside out before laundering.
Fasten all hooks, snaps, and zippers before laundering to avoid snags.
Remove sharp buckles. Turn knits inside out.
Before washing, rinse harsh chemicals (such as battery acid, hair care
chemicals, cleaning solutions, etc.) from towels and other articles to
avoid holes in fabrics. Do not allow these unrinsed items to contact
other fabrics.

These items may fray at edges from normal wear, not the washer.
