During laundry do we first mend or empty pockets

During laundry, it is generally recommended to first empty pockets before starting the washing process. This is to avoid any damage to the washing machine or clothes. It is also a good practice to check and remove any items like coins, keys, tissues, or other small objects that could potentially cause damage or staining to the clothes during the wash cycle. After emptying the pockets, you can then proceed with mending any garments that require repairs.
