Empty Pockets and Cuffs
Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside 
out. One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail or sharp 
object in a load can catch laundry and cause tears. 
Facial tissue left in a pocket will produce extreme 
“lint”. A crayon or lipstick in a wash load may cause 
stains that cannot be removed. Roll down cuffs and 
shake out grass, sand, and gravel.

Mend Rips and Tears
Little holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend 
holes and tears before placing garments in the washer.

Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks
These can catch on garments in a wash load and tear 
them. Tie belts and sashes so they won’t wind around 
clothes.

Remove Nonwashable Trim
Check for colorfastness by squeezing a portion of 
garment in warm or hot sudsy water. If the color bleeds 
or runs, wash the item separately in cold water.

Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few guidelines:

Children’s play clothes, as well as work clothes, 
will need extra treatment. Lightly soiled clothes 
can become dingy if washed with heavily soiled 
items.

Some fabrics attract lint and should not be washed 
with lint-shedding loads. Lint shedders are cottons, 
terry towels, chenille bedspreads, rugs, and clothes 
which have been heavily bleached.

Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or durable 
press, knits (including socks), corduroy, and other 
smooth fabrics.

Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pre-wash product 
or liquid detergent when placing them in the washer. 
Before washing, treat special stains with bar soap, 
liquid detergent or a paste of water and granular 
detergent. Use a pretreat soil and stain remover.
