Sorting the Clothes

  • Soil level (Heavy, Normal, Light): Separate clothes according to soil level. If possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.

  • Colour (White, Lights, Darks): Wash dark or dyed clothes separately from whites or light colours. Mixing dyed clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discolouration of lighter clothes.

  • Lint (Lint producers, Collectors): Wash separately lint producing fabrics from lint collecting fabrics. Lint producers can result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors.
