How to Partially Restore Clothes That Have Developed Limestone 

Soak clothes in a solution of two cups (480 ml) of
vinegar in one gallon (3.8 liters) of hot tap water for

15 minutes. USE A PLASTIC CONTAINER. Then

wash clothes in the washer using detergent.

CAUTIONS:

● 

Do not use vinegar soak solution in washer.

The acidic action of the vinegar may damage
the porcelain.

● 

Vinegar soak solution may reduce the

wrinkle-resistance of permanent press fabrics.

● 

Vinegar soak may damage the dyes in

some fabrics.

HOW 

 DETERGENT SHOULD YOU USE?

The use of a sufficient amount of detergent is one of the most
important 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. Type 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 common

cause of laundry
p r o b l e m s .   A l w a y s  
measure detergent
in a standard measuring cup.

How to use 
granular or powdered:

For best results, add detergent
to the wash basket before loading –
clothes. If you load your clothes
first, add detergent next to
the agitator.

If your detergent doesn’t dissolve
well, 

 the detergent in

hot water, then pour directly into
the wash basket.

Use recommended amount

of detergent for your load
and water hardness as shown
in guide at left.

2. 

When using other detergent

types—low and normal suds,
powders, liquids, non-phosphate
powders—follow directions on
package.
