PREPARING CLOTHES
FOR WASHING
Follow these recommendations
to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to
avoid snagging other items. Remove
pins, buckles, and other hard objects
to avoid scratching the washer interior.
Remove non-washable trim and
ornaments.
• Empty pockets and turn them
inside out.
• Turn down cuffs, brush away lint
and dirt.
• Turn synthetic knits inside out to
avoid pilling.
• Tie strings and sashes so they will
not tangle.
• Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
• Treat spots and stains.
• Stained or wet garments should be
washed promptly' for best results.
SORTING
• Separate heavily soiled items from
lightly soiled ones, even if they
would normally be washed together.
Separate lint givers (towels, chenille)
from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible,
turn lint givers inside out.
• Separate dark colors from light colors,
colorfast items from non-colorfast items.
• Sort by fabric and construction
(sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).
