Laundry Tips

Washing Tips

Sort oranges with reds, purples, and bright blues; navies with blacks; and creams with tans.

 

Turn garments inside out to reduce fading and prevent pilling.

 

Don’t overstuff your washer. It can cause poor rinsing and detergent deposits.

 

Wash dark fabrics in cold water to prevent fading. Don’t forget to load the machine with Cheer® For Darks.

 

New colored garments (especially red ones) should be washed separately first to avoid bleeding.

 

 Close buttons, zip zippers, and fasten clasps to prevent damage to delicate items within the load.

Drying Tips

 Avoid overdrying. Too much heat can set wrinkles, shrink certain cottons, and wear out dark-colored fabrics.

 

  Clothes can be air-dried anywhere but the bathroom. It's too damp in there!

 

Jeans should be air-dried on a hanger for best results.

 

Before drying, separate lint-shredders (fuzzy sweatshirts, chenille robes, flannels, and towels) from lint-keepers (knits, corduroys, and permanent-press fabrics).

 

Tie drawstrings on sweatshirts and pants to prevent knotting.
