How much detergent should you use?
The use of a sufficient amount of
detergent is one of the most impor-
tant things you can do to make
sure your wash comes out clean.
Amount required varies
according to:
1. Water hardness
2. Amount of soil
3. Size of load
4.
of detergent
5. Wash temperature.
Use more detergent if
you have . . .
1. Hard water
2. Large loads
3. Greasy or oily soils
4. Lower wash temperature
5. Low phosphate detergent.
If the recommended amount of
detergent produces too many suds,
switch to a low
detergent
brand, and follow instructions on
package.
Using too little detergent is a com-
mon cause of laundry problems.
Always measure detergent in a
standard measuring cup.
How to use detergent
Granular or Powdered—For best
results, put the detergent next to
the agitator after the clothes have
been loaded.
If your detergent doesn’t dissolve
well,
the detergent in
hot water then pour directly into
the wash basket.
