Q:
How can I reduce linting?
A:
Sort wash loads by fabric type and whether they collect lint (velveteen, corduroy) or produce lint (terry cloth, chenille).
Wash small loads for a shorter amount of time.
Q:
How much detergent do I use?

For best performance, always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions on usage. Many detergents are
concentrated, so consult the product label and follow the clearly marked lines on the detergent measuring cups.
Excessive detergent can negatively impact the wash performance.
