Sort your laundry

Five minutes that saves clothes.

4 min read

Sorting keeps colors bright, stops lint transfer and lets each load get the right cycle.

Sort by

  • Color: darks, lights and whites
  • Fabric weight: towels and jeans apart from light tops
  • How dirty: heavily soiled items on their own
  • Care label: delicates and hand-wash items separate

Before washing

  • Empty pockets, especially tissues and pens
  • Close zippers and hooks
  • Turn dark clothes and prints inside out
  • Treat stains first
