Pro Tips
- •Fold and put away clothes while they're still warm from the dryer to cut down on wrinkles and keep laundry from piling up.
- •Don't overload the washer — clothes need room to agitate and get clean.
- •Air-dry delicates and stretchy fabrics to extend their life.
Troubleshooting
- •Clothes still dirty? Don't overload the washer and use the right water temperature.
- •Wrinkles set in? Toss a damp cloth in the dryer and run for 10 minutes to release them.
- •Musty smell? Leave the washer door open between loads to let it dry.
- •Colors bleeding? Wash darks and lights separately and use cold water for bright colors.
