Fabric Damage - Commercial Grade Washer

Possible Solution

Are any sharp items in pockets?

Empty pockets, zip zippers, and snap or hook fasteners before washing to avoid snags and tears. Strings and straps could have tangled. Tie all strings and straps before starting to wash load. Items may have been damaged before washing. Mend rips and broken threads in seams before washing.

Is load tightly packed?

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Load with dry items only. Load below white plastic clothes guard. Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed. Add only one or two additional garments after the washer has started.

Have you added liquid chlorine bleach correctly?

Do not pour liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load. Wipe up bleach spills. Undiluted bleach will damage fabrics. Do not use more than recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not place load items on top of the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the washer. Always read and follow garment manufacturer’s care label instructions.
