Preparation
Before you begin washing, taking a few simple steps will help you have a
better washing experience and save wear and tear on your clothing as well.
1) Read factory labels for washing instructions
2) Pre-treating heavily soiled areas will also improve washing results.
3) Obtain and use Majestic™ Low Suds Laundry Soap or any other
commercial brand that keeps over sudsing in check. Use 1 to 2 ounces.
4) Your Majestic™ has over 13 different wash cycles that can last as long
as 120 minutes or as short as 35. Select the one that is right for the load.
Sorting
Separate laundry according to fabric type, color and how dirty things are.
Also consider separating clothing that generate lint from clothes that do
not typically generate much lint. Cottons, synthetics, and woolen fabrics
for starters. Color fast products vs. those that might bleed and fade on to
other clothing. What size load? A good rule of thumb is that clothes
should be visible in the window of the machine from 1/2 to 2/3’s
full. Another way of stating it is 10-12 lbs. wet. THE NUMBER ONE
CAUSE OF EARLY MACHINE FAILURE IS OVERLOADING! OVER
LOADING MACHINE WEAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY
Inspecting
This goes without saying, but check pockets for loose change, and other hidden impediments.
Fas≠tening all zippers, hooks, and buttons will prevent damage to garments and to the machine.
Turning knit garments inside out will also protect the garment. Using a mesh laundry pouch for
delicate items such as tights and stockings,bras, shoulder pads and underwear can prevent tangling.
Also, if a garment is torn or damaged, washing and drying will only make it worse. Take a minute and
do a bit of mending. It will enhance fabric care in the long run.
Pre-Wash treatments
Your laundry appliance has a built in assistant to take care of your pre-wash feature. Besides
individually treating garments as need arises, also consider using a longer wash cycle if necessary
that includes use of the pre-wash section of the detergent drawer. Often children’s play clothes and
men’s work clothes take a beating and can use some extra cycles to come clean.
Helpful laundry hints
Detergent - Because this is a front loading machine, your Majestic™ requires less of almost
everything, from laundry detergent to fabric softener to bleach. LOW SUDS detergents are even
more convenient in a front loader, because of the efficiency of clothes on clothes agitation. FABRIC
SOFTENER can actually improve dry times, but NEVER USE SOFTENER SHEETS OR OVERUSE
SOFTENER. It could cause damage to your machine. And using bleach can whiten clothes when
nothing else will. Always dilute bleach before using. Too much bleach can damage fabrics.
