build-up of soil or water hardness minerals on them.
If you notice that your clothes are not as bright as
they should be, take corrective measures
immediately.
Add more detergent to washtub before 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.
Clothes must circulate freely through the water for best results.
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 if an iron stain, use a rust remover 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 measure and
dilute bleach. Take extra care to avoid unwanted spilling.
Make sure all items can move freely during agitation.
Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend tears. Remove objects from
pockets.
Fabrics which shed lint cannot be washed with fabrics that
receive lint.
Use enough detergent so lint remains suspended in water and
flushed out.
Knits and Permanent Press attract lint. Wash these only with
similar items. Use fabric softener in rinse water.
Heavy items like towels should not be washed with light items like
nightgowns.
Clothes must circulate freely through the water for best results.
Make sure cycle selected is appropriate for type of clothes.
Using a warm or cold wash and a cold rinse reduces wrinkling.
