HOW TO SORT 

 FOR YOUR 

 

 to check 

 prepare

clothes for washing.

● 

Empty pockets, brush out cuffs,

zip zippers, snap snaps, hooks
and buttons.

● 

Do any 

 mending—rips,

hems, tears.

● 

Check all items for areas of

heavy soil or stain.

● 

Remove stains. See Stain

Removal Guide.

● 

Turn 

 knits inside-out to

minimize fabric surface damage.

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.

For information on how to

soak in your washer, see

Operating Instructions.

FOR 

 on

SOAKING AGENTS, see Other
Laundry Products Guide.

● 

Pretreat heavy soil by rubbing

in a 

 amount of 

detergent or a paste made of
water and powdered detergent
or soap. For best results, wait

1/2 hour before washing.

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 lint collection,
it is recommend
that fabrics of similar
construction be
washed together
whenever possible.

For instructions on
different fabrics and
loads, see the Controls
Setting Guide.
