Soaking and Pretreating-a good
way to loosen deep soils and stiins.
A thorough soaking with detergent
or special soaking agent is another
way to remove heavy soils,
embedded dirt and even some stains.
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
Fabric and Cycle
Settings guide.
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.
FOR INFO~ATION ON
SOAKING AGENTS, see Other
Laundry Products Guide.
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.
