Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as
underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as
infant socks. It is recommended that more than one garment
bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal
amounts of material.
Sorting
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if
they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers
(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.
Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from
noncolorfast items.
Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate
items).
Unloading
Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed.
Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if
left in the washer basket for a long time.
When unloading garments, occasionally check under the gray
seal/bellow between the door opening and the basket for
small items.
Cleaning the door seal
1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from
the washer.
2. Inspect the gray seal/bellow between the door opening and the
basket for stained areas. Pull back the seal/bellow to inspect all
areas under the seal/bellow and to check for foreign objects.
A. Seal/Bellow
