Solving wash problems
PROBLEM
Linting.
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'.
Make sure you are using enough detergent
for the amount of dirt in your wash load,
refer to 'Detergent'.
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.
