SORTING AND LOADING
When preparing your wash load there are some important things to consider:
Sorting
Sort items according to color, fabric type, and soil type. Wash fine, delicate fabrics
separately from thick, heavy fabrics. Always separate colored items from whites,
especially when they are new. Color 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.
