Sorting and loading

When preparing your wash load there are some important things to consider:

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.
