Laundry Tips!
1. Check clothes, button buttons, hook bra's, zip zippers, check pockets, tie cords & straps to prevent tangling, remove anything on your garment that can't be washed and repair tears so they don't get bigger in the wash.
2. Sort clothing by colors, fabrics and washing temperatures.
3. Do not overload your washing machine leave space for your clothes & detergent to move freely to ensure smells and stains will be released.
4. Remove clothes from washer and dry clothes as soon as possible (follow recommended drying procedures on labels)
5. Take clothes out of dryer and hang or fold immediatley - you will have fewer wrinkles and less ironing.
6. Baby clothes & linens should be laundered separately using a mild soap.
