Soaking and Pretreating—a
good way to loosen deep soils
and stains.
A thorough soaking with detergent
or special soaking agent is another
way to remove heavy soils,
embedded dirt and even some stains.
Soaking can be either a completely
separate washing step or a
preliminary step to a complete
wash cycle. For detailed
information on how to soak in
your washer, see How to Use the
Soak Cycle section.
LINT PRODUCERS—such as terry toweling and
chenille—give up lint.
LINT COLLECTORS—such as man-made fibers and
napped fabrics like velveteen and corduroy—attract
lint. These must be washed separately.
For more information on lint control, see
The Problem Solver section.

Pretreat heavy soil by rubbing
in a small amount of liquid
detergent or a paste made of
water and powdered detergent
or soap. For best results, wait
1/2 hour before washing.
In addition to sorting
to reduce lint collection,
it is recommended
that fabrics of similar
construction be
washed together
whenever possible.
For instructions on
different fabrics and
loads, see the Controls
Setting Guide.
