Clothing Care

To keep clothes looking white or bright, use good

washing practices at all times to prevent a gradual

build-up of soil or water hardness minerals on them.

If you notice that your clothes are not as bright as

they should be, take corrective measures

immediately.

Problem Cause Solution

Gray or Dingy

Clothes

Insufficient Detergent Add more detergent to washtub before loading clothes. Mild

detergents are not suitable for average soil.

Improper Sorting Wash whites separately. Separate light from heavily soiled items.

Clothes can pick up soil from dirty wash water.

Nonphosphate Detergent and Hard

Water

Follow package directions. Soften water if possible.

Water Not Hot Enough White clothes will stay whiter with hot wash water. Increase

temperature.

Overcrowding Washer Clothes must circulate freely through the water for best results.

Yell ow ed Cl ot he s Unremoved Soil 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 may be

needed.

Clothes Stained From Iron in the Water To test if an iron stain, use a rust remover on a portion of the

garment. Follow bottle directions for larger items.

Older Clothes Some white fabrics turn yellow with age and cannot be whitened.

Clothes Tearing or

Damaged

Improper Use of Chlorine Bleach No correction for bleach damaged clothes. Always measure and

dilute bleach. Take extra care to avoid unwanted spilling.

Overcrowding or Overloading Make sure all items can move freely during agitation.

Insufficient Precare Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend tears. Remove objects from

pockets.
