Helpful Hints for Care of Your Clothing

• The CSC Go App should be checked before heading to the laundry room to save yourself an unneeded trip with dirty laundry.
• Read clothing care labels. Not all garments and sheets have the same care instructions. Failure to follow directions may result in damaging your items.
• Make sure you have the correct high efficiency detergent for your clothing. Do not use any other kind of soap other than laundry detergent or laundry pods. The machines may be damaged if using the wrong soap. 
• Bleach, fabric softener, and dryer sheets are optional. Use per directions and at your own discretion. We recommend using color safe bleach if you wish to use bleach.
• Use the correct amounts of detergent, bleach, and/or fabric softener. Using too much of any may cause damage to your clothing and too much detergent will not get your clothes cleaned and will leave them filled with soap. 
• When using laundry liquid detergent or liquid fabric softener, these items go into the liquid dispenser trays, in the marked spots, of the washer. If using laundry pods, they must go into the washer along with the clothing. Never place pods in the liquid disperser trays. We also recommend using color safe bleach if you wish to use any bleach at all.
• Separate your whites from bright/dark colors
• Sweaters, blankets, and jeans are heavier items when wet so you will need to place less in the machines to prevent overloading.
• Do not overload any machine. Overloading the machines will cause damage to the machines as well as the clothing. It can also lock the machine up trapping the clothing until a technician from CSC Service Works can respond. Other issues may cause the clothing to still retain soap after the rinse cycle and/or clothing not drying properly.
• Select the proper wash cycle:
  • Wash Whites – In hot water and rinse in cold water (normal cycle)
  • Wash Bright Colors – In cold water and rinse in cold water (normal cycle)
  • Wash Dark Colors – In cold water and rinse in cold water (normal cycle)
  • Wash Jeans – In warm or cold water and rinse in cold water (normal cycle)
  • Wash Dress Shirts/Pants – In cold water and rinse in cold water (delicate cycle)
• Finally, dry clothes in the same separate piles you washed them in.
