Clothing Care

 Clothing Concerns

To keep clothes looking white or bright, use good washing practices
at all times to prevent a gradual build-up of soil or water hardness

minerals on them. 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

Insufficient Detergent

Add recommended amount of low-sudsing
detergent to dispenser drawer before
loading clothes.

Mild detergents are not suitable for aver-
age soil.

Improper Sorting

Wash whites separately. Separate light
from heavily soiled items. Clothes can pick
up soil from dirty wash water.

Nonphosphate 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.

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 may be
needed.

Clothes Stained from Iron in the Water

To test for an iron stain, use a rust remov-
er that is recommended for use with
washing machines on a portion of the gar-
ment. 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 keep level at or below maximum in
bleach dispenser compartment.

Insufficient Precare

Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend tears.
Remove objects from pockets.
