Using laundry aids
Follow package instructions when using laundry
aids. (See "Removing Stains" on page 13, for
more information.)
Chlorine bleach
• Use bleach dispenser if your machine has one.
• If your washer does not have a bleach
dispenser:
1. Let the washer fill and begin agitating the
load.
2. Dilute measured bleach in 1 quart (1L) of
water.
3. Pour bleach around agitator, not directly on
load.
• Follow directions on care labels. Do net use
chlorine bleach on wool, silk, spandex, acetates
or some flame-retardant fabrics.
• Measure bleach. Do not guess. Never use more
than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full lead. Add bleach
to wash cycle so it can be removed in the rinse
cycle.
'.When soaking with chlorine bleach, add deter-
gent to soak water.
NOTE: Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it
touches. The damage appears as rips, holes,
tears or color loss and may not show up until
several washings later.
All-fabric bleach
• Powdered or liquid all-fabric bleach may be
used on all types of fabrics.
• Do not use all-fabric bleach in the bleach
dispenser because it may clog.
Detergent
• Using too little detergent is a common cause
of laundry problems. Follow manufacturer's
directions. Measure accurately, especially
when using ultra detergents. Package
directions are usually based on:
-moderate water hardness (4-6 grains)
-lightly soiled items
-normal mix loads.
• Use more detergent for;
-hard water
--cooler wash water
-full loads
-heavily soiled items.
• Do not judge the amount of detergent to use
by the amount of suds in the machine, Low
sudsing detergents do not create as many
suds as normal sudsing detergents.
• If the recommended amount of normal
sudsing detergent creates too many suds or
suds are present in the rinse water, try a low
sudsing detergent.
Fabric softeners
• Use fabric softener dispenser if your machine
has one.
• If your washer does not have a fabric
softener dispenser, add diluted fabric
softener only in the final rinse.
• Always dilute fabric softeners with Y, to 1 cup
(125 to 250 mL) warm water. Undiluted fabric
softener can stain fabrics,
• Fabric softeners should net be mixed with
other laundry products because greasy
stains may form. If stains form, remove by
wetting the stain and rubbing with liquid
detergent or a bar of soap. Rewash the
stained item.
• Too much fabric softener can make some
items (diapers and towels) non-absorbent. If
this happens, use less fabric softener or do
not use it every time.
Fire or Explosion Hazard
• Store flammable solvents or liquids away
from your washer.
• Dry cleaning solvents or fluids should not
be put directly into your washer.
• Items treated with solvents should be
rinsed and air dried before washing in
your washer.
The fumes from these substances can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
Personal Injury Hazard
• Never use chlorine bleach with ammonia
or acids. Hazardous fumes can form.
• Keep stain removal products out of the
reach of children ,,. preferably in a locked
cabinet.
