Washing Concerns . . .
To keep clothes looking white or bright and to prevent a gradual build-up of soil or water hardness minerals on them,
use proper washing practices at all times. If you notice that your clothes are not as bright as they should be, take
corrective measures immediately.
Problem
Cause
Solution
Gray or Dingy
Clothes
Too Little or Too Much
Detergent
Add recommended amount of low-sudsing detergent to
dispenser drawer before loading clothes. Mild detergents
are not suitable for average soil.
Improper Sorting
Wash whites separately. Separate light from heavily soiled
items. Clothes can pick up soil from dirty wash water.
Water Not Hot Enough
White clothes will stay whiter with hot wash water.
Increase temperature.
Yellowed Clothes
Unremoved Soil
Skin soil is hard to remove. Check hem edge of sheets and
pillowcases, bottom end of t-shirts, etc. If this portion is
white and center is yellow, the fabric contains unremoved
soil. Use sufficient detergent and a hot wash. Chlorine
bleach or powdered bleach may be needed.
Clothes Stained From Iron In
The Water
To test for an iron stain, use a rust remover that is
recommended for use with washing machines on a portion
of the garment. Follow bottle directions for larger items.
Older Clothes
Some white fabrics turn yellow with age and cannot be
whitened.
Clothes Tearing or
Damaged
Improper Use of Chlorine
No correction for bleach damaged clothes. Always keep
level at or below maximum in bleach dispenser
compartment.
Insufficient Precare
Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend tears. Remove objects
from pockets.
Excessive Lint
Improper Sorting
Fabrics which shed lint should not be washed with fabrics
that receive lint.
Insufficient Detergent
Use enough detergent so lint remains suspended in water
and flushed out. Do not oversuds the water.
Mixing Fabric Types
Knits and permanent press attract lint. Wash these only
with similar items. Use fabric softener in dispenser drawer.
