HOW TO SORT
Sort by
Texture
LINT PRODUCERS—such as 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.
Sort by Fabric
In addition to sorting to
reduce
collection,
it is recommended
that fabrics of similar
construction be
washed together
whenever possible.

Soaking and Pretreating-a good
way to loosen deep
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
ON
AGENTS, see Other
Laundry
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.
