LAUNDRY TIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
■
Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other
items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid
scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim
and ornaments.
■
Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.
■
Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.
■
Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.
■
Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.
■
Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

Treat spots and stains.

Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best
results.
