Washer Use and Care
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, support wires
from bras (recommended to be washed in a garment
bag), nail or sharp object in a load can catch laundry
and cause tears or damage the machine. 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.
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 wind around
clothes.
Put Small Items In Bag
Small items such as baby socks may get stuck around
the door. Put them inside a mesh garment bag.
Remove Nonwashable Trim
Check for colourfastness by squeezing a portion of
garment in warm or hot sudsy water. If the colour
bleeds or runs, wash the item separately in cold water.
Sort
Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few guidelines:
1. Sort by colour.
Figure 1
2. Sort by fabric and construction.
Figure 2
3. Sort by care label.
Figure 3
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.
