Preparing your Laundry

Separate Fabrics and Pre-treat

Ensure the best wash/dry results by preparing your laundry before you 

wash. Read and follow guidelines on fabric labels. Separate laundry by 

fabric type, color and fabric care instructions. 
• Fasten all hooks, zippers and buttons to prevent snags and pulls.

• Tie strings, sashes, etc., and remove any non-washable trims, belts or 

buckles.

• Empty pockets of garments.
• Pre-treat stained or heavily soiled items.
• Put any delicate items – bras, shoulder pads, tights, hosiery, and 

underwear – in mesh laundry bag to prevent tangles.

• Mend any torn items to prevent further damage.

Pre-washing

For excessively soiled clothes with embedded dirt, such as work clothes 

or children’s play clothes, use the pre-wash option and / or heavy stain 

program. Add the appropriate amount of HE* powdered laundry detergent to 

section #1 of the detergent dispenser.

Pre-treating

Use a pre-wash spray or stick, HE* liquid laundry detergent or HE* 

powdered  laundry detergent water/paste mixture on stains before washing. 

See Stain Removal Chart, pg. 10, for specific stain treatments.

Choosing Laundry Aids 

Laundry Detergent

The Eurotech washer/dryer gets fabrics clean with smaller amounts of 

HE* laundry detergent. If you are used to a top-loading washer, use less 

detergent for wash loads. 

9

Getting Started

Amount: Use 1 – 2 Tablespoons of (HE*) powdered laundry detergent, 

or the equivalent amount of high efficient (HE) liquid detergent. For Pre-

washing Cycle, use 1-2 teaspoons of detergent depending on soil level of 

load. Low-suds detergents designed for front-loading machines, such as 

Eurotech’s own ecoVantage™ Laundry Detergent, are recommended.
Adjust amounts for heavily or lightly soiled garments. Use more in hard 

water; less in soft water. Pre-treated garments may require little to no 

additional detergent.

ecoVantage™ Laundry Detergent

For best results with your Eurotech combination washer/

dryer, use ecoVantage HE (high efficiency), low-sudsing 

laundry detergent. It’s the only laundry detergent that  

has an oxygenated cleaning agent in a perfume & dye- 

free (sensitive) formula. Order ecoVantage by calling  

800-898-1879 or go online at www.eurotechappliances.com.

Liquid Fabric Softener

Using fabric softener in the dispenser section (#3) helps items release from 

the drum after the spin cycle, helping clothes dry faster and wrinkle less.
Amount: Use 1-2 tablespoons per wash load of a bio-friendly brand. These 

softeners dissolve quicker and minimize build-up in the machine.
Adjust amounts for heavily or lightly soiled garments. Use more in hard 

water; less in soft water. 

Note: Never exceed the recommended amount of liquid fabric 

softener and do not use fabric softener sheets. Doing either 

could cause damage to fabrics, your washer/dryer and impair 

wash results.

Bleach

Using liquid chlorine bleach is not recommended with the Eurotech laundry 

products washer/dryer. However, for difficult-to-remove stains, use only 

non-chlorinated bleach (powder only). Mix approximately 1-2 teaspoons of 

non-chlorinated powdered bleach with powdered HE* detergent in section #2 

of the detergent compartment

* HE = high efficient, low sudsing laundry detergent.
