Explanation of Laundry terms was answered using the key words of the questions to answer them e.g. sorting - clothes must be sorted into black or white or coloured etc. Some candidates talked of stain 'removal' as chemicals instead of stain remover as a process of removing unwanted spot.

The expected answers to the questions are:

(a) Explanation of the following laundry terms
