Laundry Tips

Get the Most Out of Your LG Washer and Dryer by Following These Easy Laundry Tips

Read the labels

It is very important to read the care label attached to the clothes before washing them. This label will guide you in separating the different clothes and selecting the right cycle out of the may choices that your LG washer offers.

 Pretreat stains

To remove stains from dirty clothes, make sure you follow the instructions on our Stain Removal Guide page.

Sort your laundry

It is very important to separate your laundry by fabric type, color, and water temperature as specified on the label.

Divide laundry into the following 5 categories for best results

1. Whites-Everything white such as underwear, socks, t-shirts, etc

2. Lights-Everything light including whites with stripes, off whites, light colors such as pastels

3. Darks-Everything dark like blacks, navy blues, browns, dark grays

4. Brights-Everything bright including reds, yellows, oranges, and any fluorescents

5. Delicates-Fine linens, lingerie, and some synthetic fabrics

When wash and dry cycles are finished

It is very important to remove clothes and fold or hang as soon as possible to prevent wrinkling. If this is not possible, Hopefully you have taken my advice and purchased a LG dryer with steam. Run clothes through a steam refresh cycle to remove wrinkles. If you don't have the steam option, put a damp towel in the load and run it for a few minutes. It is always good to run a cool down cycle at the end of the drying time. Clothes that are very hot when the dryer shuts off are prone to wrinkling if left in the dryer in a pile.
