Prepare loads of laundry:

Organize the laundry activity:
- Always follow the laundry production log to determine the order in which the washing has to be done.
- Record the loads you wash on the log.
- Wash heavily soiled linen first so that the stains will not ruin the other items.

- Smooth and consistent work flow.
- Save water.
- Save electricity and electrical overloads.
