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 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. The care label will advise on
how the garment should be washed.

Before you load
z
Check pockets for items that could damage your clothes or get caught in the washer.
z
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.
z
Place delicate items, such as lingerie, in a mesh laundry bag before placing in the washer.
z
Pre-treat any stains, taking care not to spray pre-treaters on your washer as they can
cause damage to the plastic surfaces.
Loading
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.
