Add detergent and start washer
before adding clothes so that the
detergent can work effectively.
Using the correct amount of
detergent is one of the most
important things you can do to
make sure your wash comes out
clean. Always follow the detergent
package directions. Using too little detergent is
a common cause of laundry
problems. Use more detergent if
you have hard water, large loads,
greasy or oily soils or lower water
temperature.
