etc.) or badly soiled areas (collars
and cuffs) should be pretreated with
a stain remover or a paste made from
powder detergent and warm water.

cloth. Do not rub!

General tips
Dark fabrics often bleed the first few
times they are washed. They should
be washed separately several times
before being included in a mixed
load.
Curtains: Remove any lead weights
or strips before washing.
Loose bra underwires should be
removed or sewn in place before
washing.
Woolens, knitted garments, jeans,
pants and sweat shirts should be
turned inside out.
Close zippers, hooks and eyelets
before washing.
Comforter covers and pillowcases
should be fastened to prevent small
items from rolling inside of them.
Do not wash items with the h
symbol on the fabric care label.
