Sorting
■
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if
they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers
(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.
■
Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from
noncolorfast items.
■
Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate
items).
Unloading
■
Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed.
Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if
left in the washer basket for a long time.
■
When unloading garments, occasionally check under the gray
rubber seal/bellow at the front of the tub for small items.
