Residues on washed items

Yellowing or greying clothes

Problem

Possible causes

What to do

Greyness

Incorrect wash times and using insufcient detergent 
which can cause redepositing of detergent on clothes.

1.   ONLY use low sudsing, front load washer or HE  

detergent in this machine, such as Cold Power for 
Front Loaders and High Efciency Top Loaders or 
detergent labelled “Matic”.

2.   Re-sort load, then re-wash using program selections 

suitable for the fabric and hot or warm water.

3.   If the water is very dirty or very sudsy, repeat 2 

above reducing the amount of detergent you use.

Using incorrect type or too much detergent can cause 
poor rinsing and poor spin performance.

Mixing whites with very dirty clothes, eg work clothes.

Using soap akes instead of laundry detergent.

Yellowing

A build-up of oils in clothes that come into close 
contact with the skin, eg underwear, T-shirts.

1.   Re-sort load, then re-wash using wash program 

selections suitable for the fabric and hot or warm 
water.

2.   If the water is very dirty or very sudsy, repeat 1 

above reducing the amount of detergent you use.

NOTE: Synthetics which have been washed in very hot 
water will not respond to any treatment.

Ageing of clothes.

Iron deposits in the wash water.

Use of chlorine bleaches on fabrics with resin nishes.

Incorrect drying.

Incorrect water temperatures ie. too hot or too cold.

Stained clothes – Hints for removing stains

The guide to stain removal on page 26 may assist you in 
stain removal. 
Treat all stains as soon as possible. The longer you leave a 
stain the harder it will be to remove. Try soakers and stain 
removers first.
If you use pre-treatment sprays or stain removers, apply 
them to the clothes items in a well ventilated area away 
from your washing machine.
•   Avoid the use of hot water on stains as hot water will 

set stains.

•   Use light strokes and don’t rub the stain remover into 

the fabric.

•   If you use a chlorine bleach, follow the instructions on

the bottle and dilute it before putting it on clothing.

•   Test coloured fabrics on an inside seam for colour 

fastness before using any stain removers or bleaches.

•   Test synthetic fabric on an inside seam before using any  

chemicals or bleaches.

NOTE: Chemicals referred to for stain removal are available 
from your local supermarket, hardware store or the chemist.

Helpful hint in dealing with washing problems

Some detergents have ingredients which do not fully
dissolve and as a consequence, may leave white residue
or particles evident on the surface of darker clothes in the 
finished wash load.
Similarly, some soils may not dissolve fully, resulting in
residues evident on lighter coloured clothes.

If you experiencing residue on some clothes, the 
following tips will help:
•    Check that you are using front load type detergent to
      minimise over-sudsing. You may find different brands of
      detergent give better results. Liquid detergent may be 
      better than powder in your situation.
•    Reduce detergent dosage to between a 1/2 and 2/3 of 
      the manufacturer’s standard recommendation to avoid  
      over concentration (the lower water usage requires lower
      detergent usage.)
•    Some residue may be re-deposited lint, so be careful to 
      not have lint producing items in a load which has darker 
      clothes.
•    Select deep rinse and not eco rinse to help flush more 
      particles away.
•    Reduce the clothes load size per wash and use a 
      manual water level setting to give more freedom for the
      clothes to move around in the bowl.
•    Use another Program as below, which has been 
      designed to minimise residual particles (they are in order
      of increasing benefit and will help you choose the best
      program for your wash load.)
      -   Any Program, plus the Heavy Dirt Level option setting
      -   The Normal/Heavy Program, plus the Heavy Dirt Level
          option setting.
      -   The Intensive Program
