etc.) or badly soiled areas (collars and

General tips
– Dark fabrics often bleed the first few
times they are washed. They should
be washed separately several times
before being included in a mixed
load.
– Remove any lead weights or strips
from curtains before washing.
– Loose underwires should be
removed or sewn in place before
washing.
– Woolens and knitted garments
should be turned inside out.
– Close zippers and hooks and eyes
before washing.
– Comforter covers and pillowcases
should be fastened in order to
prevent small items from getting
trapped inside of them.
Do not machine wash items if it is not
recommended on the fabric care label.
