Given the opportunity, laundry can be sent out, hand washed, or done at home in a machine and the quality varies. These are common expectations that should be validated with observations.
Washing
A clothes hamper beside where they change clothes may help with the dirty clothes. If the clean clothes are to be put away, someone else will probably have to do it within ACL 4 Low. Re-wearing dirty clothes may occur when the person is not assisted in ACL 4 Low.
Sorting
White clothes may be separated from other clothing, but consistency is not dependable. New red colored items should be pre-washed to prevent pink colored underwear.
The person may not distinguish between hand, machine or dry cleaning fabrics within ACL 4 Low. To determine the cleaning method, one has to read the label and comprehend the instructions, which is rare within this profile.
Sorting clothes according to common washing machine classifications (delicates, permanent press, fine garments, bedding, or water temperatures) is apt to escape the attention of people within ACL 4 Low because those are surface appearance cues which enters the scale in ACL 5.2.
Within ACL 4.0, color coding can be used for water temperature: blue equals cold; red equals hot and everything else has no code. Labels, iron-on tape, embroidery threads, and permanent markers can provide the colors.
Someone will need to set clothing aside that requires extra attention caused by stains, torn seams or mending needs.
Washing Machines
Detergent and bleach pods may prevent dumping unmeasured soap and bleach onto clothing throughout ACL 4. Pods may be more expensive in the beginning but the excesses of most people in ACL 4 make them cheaper and safer in the long-run.
The settings of the dials of the machines can be marked with tape but supervision will probably be necessary to push or pull the knobs correctly within ACL 4 Low.
Dryers
Within ACL 4 Low, dry all clothing on wrinkle-free settings to avoid ironing because a hot iron is a hazard.
Someone will need to make sure the lint trap is cleaned after each dryer use to prevent a fire.
