Tips & Tricks for managing your garments
You may have done laundry many times, but it’s worth going over some tips to remind you how to get the best results, from the washer, and for your clothes.
– Check all pockets to make sure they are empty. Things like matches, pens, keys and other metal items can damage your clothes.
– Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to keep them from snagging or getting entangled with other clothes.- Pretreat heavily stained items before putting them in the regular wash.
– Combine large and small items in a load. Load the large items first. Large items should not be more than half the load.
– The washer can be fully loaded but it should not be tightly packed. The door of the washer should close easily.
– Ideally, small or delicate items should be washed in a net designed for laundry. They are most likely to get caught in the door or missed after the final rinse and spin. If you do not use a net, be sure to check all around the washer drum (360 degrees) when the cycle is complete. It is not uncommon for small items, like socks, to stick to the top of the drum after the final spin cycle.
– Brush heavy dust or hair off before washing.
– Wash blankets individually. Washing more than one may not result in proper cleaning due to tangling or an unbalanced load.
– Always separate fabrics according to colors to prevent darker colors from bleeding into the lighter colored items.
