Before Washing
Prepare Wash Load
� 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. IMPORTANT: Failure to remove items from pockets can cause damage to your washer. Items loose in front load washers can find their way into outer tub and damage the pump. � 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 tangle clothes. � Check for Colorfastness Squeeze a portion of garment in warm or hot sudsy water. If the color bleeds or runs, wash the item separately in cold water. � Sort Sorting helps prevent linting, shrinking and dye transfer. Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few guidelines: 1.Sort by Color � Separate the following types of clothing�whites, lights, darks, and non-colorfast items. 2.Sort by Fabric and Construction � Separate cottons and linens, synthetics, blends and poly knits, permanent press, delicates. 3.Sort by Care Label � Separate items requiring cold wash, warm wash, and hot wash. 4.Sort by Type and Amount of Soil 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.

Pretreat
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 as necessary (See �Stain Removal�).
