labels often include the manufacturer's recommended washing instructions as well as
the types of material the garment is made from. Instructions often include: Wash
temperature Rinse temperature Ironing temperature, and sometimes ironing method. If

2. What is the proper way to prepare clothes for washing? - answerRemove all items
from all pockets, zip up any zippers, fasten snaps and cover Velcro. Also tie any strings
back so they won't get tangled in the agitator or with other garments. Remove any pins,
your name tag, and the "scribe" or "captain" tag from your Pathfinder uniform before
washing it. Brush off any caked-on dirt. Turn permanent press and garments with silk
screened patterns inside-out. Place small items and hosiery in a mesh bag before
putting them in the washing machine. This will prevent small items from being flushed
out with the rinse water, and it will help prevent runs in hosiery.
4. What precaution should be used when using chlorine bleach? What are the
advantages of powdered oxygen bleach? Why should chlorine bleach and ammonia
never be mixed? - answerPrecautions: Bleach is a powerful chemical. It can burn your
skin, and it can dissolve cloth. Do not get it on your skin; if you get it on your skin, wash
it off right away. If you spill it on your clothing, rinse immediately. If too much bleach is
used on cloth, the cloth will disintegrate. Bleach will remove dye, so it must not be used
on anything other than white cloth.
5. What precautions should be taken when using liquid fabric softeners? -
answerPrecautions: Bleach is a powerful chemical. It can burn your skin, and it can
dissolve cloth. Do not get it on your skin; if you get it on your skin, wash it off right away.
If you spill it on your clothing, rinse immediately. If too much bleach is used on cloth, the

than white cloth.
Blood - answerLiquid fabric softeners leave an invisible residue on the garments which
prevents static cling, softens the fabric, and imparts a light fragrance. It should only be
used in the rinse cycle when no soap is present in the water, because it will react with
soap and leaving a sticky, visible residue which resembles lint. If your washing machine
has a fabric softener dispenser use it and the fabric softener will be added at the right
time in the cycle. Otherwise, you must add it yourself at the beginning of the rinse cycle.
Be careful to not pour it directly on clothing, but rather into the water.
