WASH PREPARATION
Sorting your load
Sort items according to colour, fabric type, and soil type. Wash fine, delicate fabrics
separately from thick, heavy fabrics. Always separate coloured items from whites,
especially when they are new. Colour run could be an issue if you wash items at
highertemperatures. Some soils, like mud and blood are best washed in cold water.
Oilysoils (eg some foods and marks on shirt collars) are best washed in warm water.
Thefollowing are recommendations for what cycles and settings you may wish
towashdifferent items on, and suggestions for special wash requirements.

Before you load
Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer.
Close zippers, hooks and eyes, and other fastenings (ie fasten the opening of duvet/
doona covers) and remove loose bra wires. All these can damage both your washer
andyour clothes.
Place delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag before placing in the machine.
Pre-treat any stains, taking care not to spray pre-treaters on your washer as they can
cause damage to the plastic surfaces.
