Solution
Add recommended amount of low-suds-
ing detergent to dispenser drawer be-
fore loading clothes.
Mild detergents are not suitable for
average soil.
Wash whites separately. Separate light
from heavily soiled items. Clothes can
pick up soil from dirty wash water.
Follow package directions. Soften water
if possible.
White clothes will stay whiter with hot
wash water. Increase temperature.
Skin soil is hard to remove. Check hem
edge of sheets and pillowcases, bottom
end of t-shirts, etc. If this portion is
white and center is yellow, the fabric
contains unremoved soil. Use sufficient
detergent and a hot wash. Chlorine
bleach may be needed.
To test for an iron stain, use a rust re-
mover that is recommended for use
with washing machines on a portion of
the garment. Follow bottle directions for
larger items.
Some white fabrics turn yellow with age
and cannot be whitened.
No correction for bleach damaged
clothes.
Always keep level at or below maximum
in bleach dispenser compartment.
Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend
tears. Remove objects from pockets.
