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. For STAIN

Turn Poly Knits inside-out to
minimize fabric surface damage.
Soaking and Pre-treating—
a good way to loosen deep soils
and stains.
A thorough soaking with detergent
or special soaking agent is another
wayto remove heavy soils,
embedded dirt and even some
stains.
Soaking can be either a completely
separate washing step or a prelim-
inary step to a complete wash cycle.
For detailed information on how
to soak in your washer, see page 8.
