LINT PRODUCERS—such as terry toweling and
chenille—give up lint.
LINT COLLECTORS—such as man-made fibers and
napped fabrics like velveteen and corduroy—attract
lint. These must be washed separately.
For more information on lint control, see The
Problem Solver section.

In addition to sorting to
reduce lint collection,
it is recommended
that fabrics of similar
construction be
washed together
It pays to check and prepare
clothes for washing.
● Empty pockets, brush out cuffs,
zip zippers, snap snaps, hooks
and buttons.
● Do any necessary mending—rips,
hems, tears.
● Check
all
items for areas of heavy
soil or stain.
● Remove stains. See Stain
Removal Guide.
Soaking and
Pretr-ting-a
good
way to loosen deep soils
and
stains.
A thorough soaking with detergent
or special soaking agent is another
way to remove heavy soils,
embedded dirt and even some stains.
Soaking can be either a completely
separate washing step or a
preliminary step to a complete wash
cycle. For detailed information on
how to soak in your washer, see
How to Use the Soak Cycle.
For instructions
on different fabrics
and loads, see the
Controls Setting
Guide.
FOR INFORMATION ON
SOAKING AGENTS, see Other
Laundry
Produck Guide.
● Pretreat heavy soil by rubbing
in a small amount of liquid
detergent or a paste made of water
and powdered detergent or soap.
For best results, wait 1/2 hour
before washing.
● Turn
poly
knits inside-out to
minimize fabric surface damage.
