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
Grey or Dingy
Clothes
Insufficient Detergent
Add more detergent to washtub 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.
Non-phosphate Detergent and
Hard Water
Follow package directions. Soften water if possible.
Water Not Hot Enough
White clothes will stay whiter with hot wash water. Increase
temperature.
Overcrowding Washer
Clothes must circulate freely through the water for best
results.
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 centre is yellow, the fabric contains unremoved soil. Use
sufficient detergent and a hot wash. Chlorine bleach may be
needed.
Clothes Stained From Iron in the
Water
To test if an iron stain, use a rust remover 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 Bleach
No correction for bleach damaged clothes. Always measure
and dilute bleach.
Overcrowding or Overloading
Make sure all items can move freely during agitation.
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/
Non-Phosphate Detergent
Use enough detergent so lint remains suspended in water and
flushed out.
Mixing Fabric Types
Knits and Permanent Press attract lint. Wash these only with
similar items. Use fabric softener in rinse water.
Insufficient Water Level
Select proper/higher water level for size of washload.
