Greasy spots
Llnt

Undiluted washer fabric softener
was used
Enough detergent was used

Lint screen is clogged
Load is properly sorted
Static electriciiy is attrzting lint
Load is too bii or heavy
Paper or tissue was in pocket

Pilling is being mistaken for lint
CAUSEYSOLUTlONS
Folbw manufacturer's product direc-
tions carefully.
Dilute fabrii softener before adding to
the final rinse.
Use enough detergent to hold soil in the
wash water until it drains away. Un-
drained soil can stick to outer tub of the
washer and cause greasy spots with
next load.
Soiled items can stain other items in the
bad. They can also leave stains on the
dryer drum that can bs picked up by
items in later bads. Dryer heat may
permanently set these stains.
Clean lint screen. (See page 13.)
Sort lint-givers (bath towels, etc.) from
lint-takers (synthetics, permanent
press).
Use fabric softener in the washer's final
rinse. Use correct dryer settings for
fabric. Overdrying synthetics can cause
lint-attracting static electric@
Dry smaller bads. When items can't
tumble freely, air is unable to carry lint
to lint screen.
Empty pockets carefully. A small scrap
of paper can cause a lot of lint.
Use enough detergent to hold the lint in
the water until it drains away. Base
detergent amount on water hardness
and soil in wash bad.
Pilling (surface fuzz) is caused by
normal wear and laundering. Pills do not
break away easily from the fabrii and
can often collect lint. Synthetic fabrics
are more likely to pill than others,
especially at neckbands, elbows and
knees.
