Using Front Load Washers

Front load washing machines provide superior wash results compared to top load machines. They allow clothes to remain newer looking for a longer period of time, and save energy in the form of reduced water, detergent and electricity consumption.

• Sorting and loading the clothes correctly will provide the best results when used with a detergent approved for "HE" High Efficiency washers.
• Separate clothes that shed lint (chenille and terrycloth) from clothes that attract lint (synthetics, corduroy, velveteen).
• Pilling, which can look like lint, is produced by normal wear on cotton/polyester blend fabrics. To reduce pilling, wash these fabrics inside out, using the delicate wash cycle.
• To prevent "yellowing" of whites, use the hottest recommended temperature for each type of load.
• Retain the dark or bright colors by washing in cool or cold water.
• Read the labels on the clothing for recommended wash cycles, a simple but often overlooked tip.
