Preparing the laundry
NOTICE: Damage to the appliance/fabrics
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper-clips, needles, nails)
may damage the laundry or components in the washing
machine.
Therefore, note the following tips when preparing your
laundry:
Empty all pockets to ensure no loose debris (coins,
▯
keys, other hard objects) are placed in the washer
drum.
Close any fasteners (such as zippers and hooks) that
▯
could cause laundry to catch or become entangled.
Remove any foreign objects or non-washable parts.
▯
Turn trousers and knitted wear inside out prior to
▯
washing.
Place small items (such as socks and handkerchiefs)
▯
and underwired bras into a mesh bag prior to washing.
Sorting the Laundry
Sort laundry items according to color, degree of soiling
and recommended wash temperature range.
Wash white items separately from colored items.
Otherwise, white items may tend to become grey.
Observe laundry care labels
Check the care labels on each laundry item prior to
washing. Choose an appropriate wash cycle that does
not exceed the temperature recommended.
Determining degree of soiling
Light soiling
▯
No visible soiling or stains, but may have absorbed
some body odor. This could include light weight
summer clothing such as T-shirts, shirts, or blouses
worn for only one day. Also to freshen bed linen or
guest towels.
Normal soiling
▯
Visible soiling and/or a few light stains. This could
include clothing such as T-shirts, shirts, or blouses that
have been sweated in or worn several times. Also tea
towels, hand towels or bed linen used for up to one
week. Net curtains (without nicotine stains) that have
not been washed for up to a half year.
Heavy soiling
▯
Visible soiling and stains. This could include kitchen
towels, fabric napkins, baby bibs, children's outer
clothing or football jerseys and shorts stained with
grass and/or earth. Also could include working clothes
such as overalls and jeans and other clothing worn for
outside work and activities such as gardening, home
and yard maintenance or worn during sports activities.
Identifying and treating stains
Oils and grease: normal body skin oil,
cooking oils/fats, sauces, mineral oil, or
wax (containing fat/oil). Treatment: scrape
residue from fabric. Pretreat. Wash using
hottest water safe for the fabric. For heavy
stains, apply non-flammable dry cleaning
fluid to back of stain, replacing towels
under stain frequently. Rinse thoroughly
and wash using hottest water safe for the
fabric.
Beverages and juices: tea, coffee, red
wine, fruit, vegetables. Treatment: Pretreat
stain. Wash using cold water.
Proteins and carbohydrates: blood, egg,
milk, starch. Treatment: Rinse immediately
in cold water. If stain remains, soak in cold
water with an enzyme prewash.
Soot, earth, sand (pigments), red clay
(such as soiling of tennis clothing). Brush
off residue if present. Pretreat or soak with
a laundry product containing enzymes.
Removing stains
Remove/pretreat stains as soon as possible after they
▯
have occurred.
Dab with a soapy solution. Do not rub.
▯
Select an appropriate wash cycle and wash the item.
▯
Several washing cycles may be required in order to
remove stubborn or dried-in stains.
