HOW TO mMOVE STAINS

SPOTSCRUBBER Cycle Shortcut

Many stains that have not set into the fabric can be automatically removed in your washer’s SPOTSCRUBBER Cycle.

Getting stains out of items that are too big to be laundered in the Mini-Basket tub is more difficult. The Stain Removal Guide on the next page suggests ways of treating stains by hand.

Whether you use the SPOTSCRUBBER Cycle shortcut or apply stain removal products by hand:

●Try to remove stains as soon as possible. The fresher the stain, the easier it is to remove.

●Before attempting to remove any stain, check the care label instructions that came with the garment.

●Some detergents are more effective in removing certain stains than others. If the stain remains after you have tried the SPOTSCRUBBER Cycle shortcut, try another brand.

To Apply Stain Removal Products by Hand

●Find the fabric and the finish in the guide on the next page, and use only recommended methods.

●Test stain removal product on a hidden inside seam or on a sample of the material.

“ Follow stain removal with a thorough rinsing.

●Wash with recommended amount of soap or detergent.

Stain Removal Hint—Using Chlorine Bleach for White and Bleachable Fabrics

Mix 1/4 cup (60 ml) chlorine bleach with one gallon (3.8 liters) of cool water—approximately 80°F. (27°C.)—in a sink or pan. Soak stained area for 5 minutes and launder in washer.

The Case of the “Invisible” Stain

Food or cooking oils on your synthetic garments may cause stains which are virtually invisible and which you may not notice as you put your clothes into the washer.

If these stains are not completely removed in the wash, the oily spots may pick up dirt from the wash water. Then they will become very visible and you may think they were caused by the wash cycle itself.

Once These Spots Become Visible, How Can You Remove Them?

●Wash spotted fabrics in the Mini-Basket tub using the SPOTSCRUBBER Cy(.le and hottest water the fabric can stand.

●Another way to remove these spots is to rub in undiluted liquid detergent and let stand 30 minutes, then rewash using hottest water the fabric can stand.

How Can You Prevent These “After-You-Wash” Stains?

●Increase the amount of detergent normally used.

●Increase water temperature where fabric will permit.

●Wash synthetic garments more often.
