To keep clothes looking white or bright, use good washing practices at all times to prevent a gradual build-up

be, take corrective measures immediately.

Add recommended amount of low-sudsing
detergent to dispenser drawer 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.
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 or powered bleach may be needed.
To test for an iron stain, use a rust remover 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.
Fabrics that shed lint cannot be washed with
fabrics that receive lint.
Use enough detergent so lint remains suspended
in water and flushed out. Do not oversuds the
water.
Knits and permanent press attract lint. Wash
these only with similar items. Use fabric softener
in dispenser drawer.
