LARRY TIPS
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
noncolorfast
items.
•
Sort by fabric and construction
(sturdy cottons, knits, delicate
items).
Unloading
•
Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed.
Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if
left in the washer basket for a long time.
