LAUNDRY TIPS:
Sorting clothes can help avoid most laundry problems
Sort clothes by:
- Color:
- Whites and pastels together
- Dark colors together
- Multi-colored clothes with lots of white and dark colors are best washed seperately the 1st time
- If the dye does not bleed/run it can be washed with whites next time
- Fabric type:
- Seperate delicate or lightweight fabrics from heavy ones
- Seperate lint producers (such as towels) from lint attractants (such as corduroy)
Washing tips:
- When one or more of the following factors is out of balance - dull or dingy clothes is often the result
- Use the warmest water recommended for fabric; don't use hotter than recommended
- Hot water cleans better versus cold; cold is fine for rinsing
- Don't scrimp on detergent or laundry additives; measure - don't guess; heavily soiled clothes may need more
- AVOID OVERLOADING the machine
- Set water level high to allow clothes enough room to circulate and rinse properly
Drying tips:
- Clothes take longer to dry and wrinkle more if the dryer is overloaded
- Don't overdry clothes; overdrying can increase wrinkles and shrinkage
- Remove stretch items from the dryer when just barely dry
- Remove clothes as soon as they are dry
- Hang or fold clothes right away to prevent wrinkles and time consuming ironing
LAUNDRY ADDITIVES:
- Bleach
- Choosing the right bleach is easy; household liquid bleach is identified by the words "sodium hypochlorite"
- Disinfects, removes stain, and whitens
- Don't use on colors
- Color safe bleach
- Safe to use on colored clothing that is washable
- Removes stain and helps keep colors bright
- Fabric Softeners
- Helps reduce static cling, minimizes wrinkling and soften clothes
- Rinse added softeners are added to the final rinse cycle
- Dryer sheets are convenient to use with one sheet added to the dryer with clothes
STAIN REMOVAL TIPS:
- For ink stains - apply rubbing alcohol, rub detergent on clothes, and then wash with bleach* and detergent; repeat if necessary
- For coffee, tea, wine, and soft drinks pretreat with bleach* and wash with detergent right away
- For grease, butter, margerine, oil, mayonnaise, ice cream, chocolate, or cosmetics rub stain remover into stain and wash with detergent & bleach*
