HOW TO SORT CLOTHES
Sort by Surface Texture
LINT PRODUCERS—such terry toweling and
chenille—give up lint.
LINT COLLECTORS—such as man-made fibers
and napped fabrics like velveteen and
attract lint. These must be washed separately.
For more information on lint control, see
The Problem Solver section.

Soaking and Pretreating—a
good way to loosen deep soils
and stains.
A thorough soaking with detergent
or special soaking agent is another
way to remove heavy soils,
embedded dirt and even some stains.
Soaking can be either a completely
separate washing step or a
preliminary step to a complete
wash cycle. For detailed
information on how to soak
in your washer, see How to
Use the Soak Cycle.
FOR INFORMATION ON
SOAKING AGENTS, see Other
Laundry Products Guide.
●
Pretreat heavy soil by rubbing
in a small amount of liquid
detergent or a paste made of
water and powdered detergent
or soap. For best results, wait
1/2 hour before washing.
