WASH PROBLEMS

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS

Creasing

• Overloading the washer or dryer.

 

• Choose a Permanent Press or Delicate cycle as these cycles have

 

been designed to minimize creasing.

 

• Try selecting a slower spin speed.

 

• Do not leave wet clothes to sit in the washer or laundry basket.

Poor soil

removal

•Not enough detergent for load size or amount of soil.

•White clothes are better washed separately. Separate light and heavily soiled items, as clothes can pick up soil from dirty wash water.

•Select the wash temperature according to soil type. For example, blood and mud are better washed in cold water, while oily soils wash better in warmer water.

•Overloading the washer.

•Loads made up of articles of varying sizes will wash better (eg full loads of sheets may not wash as well).

•Hard water requires more detergent than soft water.

Linting

•

Wash lint givers eg towels, flannel sheets, separately from lint

 

 

collectors eg synthetic fabrics.

 

•

Overloading the washer.

• Not enough detergent to hold the lint in suspension.

• Overdrying in a dryer can cause a build-up of static electricity in synthetic fabrics and cause them to attract lint.

Residue

detergent

•Overloading the washer.

•Try using less detergent.

•Some detergents need to be pre-dissolved, check the detergent instructions.

•Cold ambient temperatures, cold washes or short agitation times may not let the detergent dissolve properly. Try pre-dissolving the detergent.

Black marks on

• A build-up caused by the interaction of fabric softener and

clothes

detergent can flake off and mark clothes. (Refer to Scrud page 13).

 

• Insufficient detergent, for the amount of soil on the clothes, can

 

result in black marks on clothes.

 

 

Dye transfer

• Wash and dry non-colorfast clothes separately.

 

• Non-colorfast clothes left sitting in a washer or laundry basket can

 

transfer dye to other clothes.

 

 

Tangling

• Washing with too much water (ie underloading) can cause the

 

clothes to tangle around one another.

 

• Do not load the washer by wrapping clothes around the agitator.
