Section B Washing instructions
Follow the instructions in this section for the best washing results.
Sort your washing into separate wash loads
Each load of washing should contain clothing which needs the
same washing conditions. For example, you should not wash
delicate clothes with very dirty work clothes.
Some fabrics are lint collectors and can pick up lint, dirt and colour
from other fabrics, which are lint producers. Some examples are
listed below.
LINT COLLECTORS LINT PRODUCERS
Corduroy Towels
Synthetics Nappies
Permanent press fabrics Chenille / Candlewick
Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint
producers.
Check your clothes to avoid damage
Empty all pockets.
Close all hooks and zippers to avoid snagging clothes.
Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag
which you can purchase from your supermarket.
Load the washing machine
When loading the clothes into your washing machine, there are
four things to remember:
1. Clothes must be loaded evenly around the agitator.
2. Clothes must not be wrapped around the agitator.
3. The washing machine must not be overloaded. Clothes must be
able to move around during the washing cycle.
4. The load should contain only two or three large items,
eg sheets. The rest of the load should be small items.
A mixed load of large and small items will wash cleaner than a
load of large items.
