What to do
A front-load workflow can include stain pre-treatment before loading, a detergent confirmed for the machine’s requirements during the main wash, and optional fabric care only when its label and the washer permit it. Maintain the washer according to its manual.
Step-by-step
Pre-treat eligible stains
Read the fabric care label and test a pre-treatment if needed before placing the item in the washer.
Choose the main-wash detergent
Check the washer manual and detergent label for machine and dosing requirements. A product direction is not proof that a particular formula is compatible.
Use optional fabric care correctly
If the garment, product, and machine instructions allow a fabric conditioner, add it only through the specified part of the wash process.
Dry the load and care for the machine
Dry items according to their labels. Follow the washer maker’s instructions for cleaning and allowing moisture to escape after use.
