White and color clothes must be washed separately to prevent transferring dye
from one item to another.
To check if a piece of clothing fades, soak a small area. Place a white cloth over
it and iron. If the white cloth stains, the fabric will fade.
Check clothing label to make sure it can be machine-washed.
Follow instructions on label.
Woolen items must always be washed separately, in cold water.
Do not use bleach in woolen clothes, silk, leather and Lycra, spandex.
Wash separately cotton and linen clothes from synthetic fabric (nylon, spandex,
polyamide, etc...), as they require different washing process.
Do not use dry cleaning chemical products in your Washer.
Do not use Washer to starch clothes.
Stained, heavily-soiled, or greasy items may need to be prewashed or soaked
for best results.
Soaking helps remove protein-type stains like blood, milk or grass.
Prewashing helps loosen soil before washing.
Stain removal rules
1. Use warm water for soaking or prewashing stained laundry. Hot water can
set stains.
2. Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh.
3. Before treating any stain, find out what kind of stain it is, how old the stain
is, what kind of fabric it is, and whether the fabric is colorfast. (Check the
care label)
4. Washing and drying can set some stains.
5. Start with cold or warm water. Hot water can set some stains.
6. When bleach is recommended, use a bleach that is safe for the fabric.
7. Put the stained area face down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the
stain remover to the back of the stain. This forces the stain off fabric instead
of through it.
