PROBLEM

Detergent residue.
Black or grey
marks on clothes.
Dye transfer.
TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE CAUSES
Some items in load more
likely to release or pick up
lint.
Overloading the washer.
Not enough detergent to
hold the lint in suspension.
Overdrying in a dryer can
cause a build-up of static
electricity in synthetic
fabrics and cause them to
attract lint.
Overloading the washer.
Did you use the
recommended amount of
detergent?
Some detergents need to be
pre dissolved before being
added to the washer.
Cold ambient temperatures,
cold washes and/or short
agitation times may not
allow the detergent to
dissolve properly.
A build up caused by the
interaction of fabric softener
and detergent can flake off
and mark clothes.
Insufficient detergent for
the amount of soil on the
clothes, can result in grey
marks on clothes.
Washing dark coloured and
light coloured items together.
Keep wet or damp dark
coloured and light coloured
items separate.
WHAT TO DO
Wash lint givers (eg towels,
flannelette sheets) separately from
lint collectors (eg synthetic fabrics).
Try reducing your load size.
Try using more detergent.
Try not to over dry items when
using your dryer.
Try reducing your load size.
Try using less detergent.
Check the detergent instructions.
Try pre-dissolving the detergent
before adding it to the washer.
Refer to 'Fabric Softener' and
'Caring for your washer' pages 24
and 41.
Make sure you are using enough
detergent for the amount of dirt in
your wash load. Refer to 'Detergent'
page 23.
Empty washer and put through a
'Bowl Clean' cycle. (Refer to 'Caring
for your washer - Cleaning the
inside of your washer' page 41).
Remember to separate whites and
colours.
Wash and dry non-colourfast
clothes separately.
Non-colourfast clothes left sitting
in a washer or laundry basket can
transfer dye onto other clothes.
