HOW TO SORT CLOTHES FOR YOUR WASHER
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.
• Turn poly knits inside-out
to
minimize
fabric surface damage.
Soaking
and Pretreating--a
good way to loosen deep soils
and stains.
A thorough
soaking with
detmgent
or special soaking agent
is another way to remove heavy
soils, embedded
dirt and even
some stains.
For information
on how to
soak in your washer, see
Operating
Instructions.

on
SOAKING
AGENTS,
see Other
Laundry
Products
section.
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.

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
Separate
Linens
Ill addition to sorting
to reduce lint collection,
it is recommended
that fabrics of similar
construction
be
washed together
whenever possible.
