is another way to remove heavy
soils, embedded dirt and even
some stains.

Texture
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.
Sort by Fabric
In addition to sorting
to reduce lint collection,
it is recommend
that fabrics of similar
construction be
washed together
whenever possible.
For instructions on
different fabrics and
loads, see the Controls
Setting Guide.
