WASH PREPARATION

Sorting

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 higher temperatures.

Some soils, like mud and blood are best washed in cold water. Oily soils (eg some foods and

marks on shirt collars) are best washed in warm water. The following are recommendations

for what cycles and settings you may wish to wash different 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

and your 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.

Your washer will be more efficient when washing larger loads, so try to collect enough

items to loosely fill the drum when the items are dry.
