Starting a wash Program

Laundry preparation

Sorting

Clothes should be sorted from separate items which

could damage other garments. Sort items into loads

according to similar colors, fabrics, garment

construction and degrees of soil.
Color

Separate clothes into three groups: Whites and pastels,

medium and bright colors, Dark colors. Items which

bleed color should be washed alone.
Type of fabrics

Delicate items should be separated from sturdier items.

Fabrics that shed lint should be separated from the

ones which shed none or attract lint.
Garments constructions

Garments that may fray easily or that have unusual

trim require gentle care. These garments may be

washed in the loader using the knit cycle. If garments

are fragile and delicare, hand washing may be desirable.
Degree of soil

Heavily sopiled items should be separated from the

rest of the wash to prevent transfer of soil in the wash

water.
Inspection

While sorting clothes into wash-loads, also inspect each

garments to see if it requires special care

(see table fabric care on page 16).

Pretreating

Remove stains,

while they are fresh and easy to get

out. Try cold water first to remove unknown stains.

Hot water sets stains containing protein such as blood,

egg, meat and milk. To remove difficult stains, refer to

the removal Chart on page 17.

Preatreat heavily soiled areas,

such as collars,

cuffs, and centers of pillowcases.

Mend rips and tears, before washing, so further

damage is not done to garments.

Empty pockets.

Objects left in pockets such as crayon, pens or

markers, or tobacco crumbs may stain an entire wash

load. Paper issues will shred leaving bits on each item

in the washer. Remove coins and other foreign object

to prevent damage to the machine.

Fasten all hooks, zippers and buttons.
Turn knit garments wrong side

out to reduce the tendency of knits to pill. Fabric

pills are balls of fibers on the surface of the

garments and cause damage by wear or friction.
Remove loose dirt and sand.

Brush dirt from trouser cuffs; shake or vacuum rugs

to remove loose surface soil.
If buckle is washable,

place a scrap of material securely around the

ornament before washing and drying to prevent

scratching and damage to the machine. Remove

non-washable trims, buckles, buttons and belts.
Tie strings

belts and apron sashes into bows to avoid tangling

during washing.

Before loading the washer,

make sure the drum is empty.

Prewash

Prewash excessively soiled clothes, such as work or

childrens clothes.
They often get very soiled. Prewashing with detergent

will help loosen the soil
