This chapter includes several tips on how to prepare the laundry for washing.
Laundry sorting
Sort the laundry according to:
•
how soiled it is,
•
colour,
•
material.
Clothing
1. Close the zips and hook-and-loop fasteners so that they do not damage the fabric.
2. New dyed items may contain excess dye; therefore, they have to be washed separately several
times.
3. Turn delicate items inside out. This will decrease the risk of tear and colour fading.
4. Place very sensitive clothes and small items in a special-purpose laundry washing bag.
5. Empty the pockets and turn them inside out.
