Possible Causes

What to Do

Grayed Clothes

Not enough detergent (larger loads, heavy soil, and hard water might require more detergent)

Try using more detergent (especially with larger loads).

If you live in a hard water area try using a water conditioner or install a water softener.

Water is not hot enough

Make sure water heater is delivering water

 

at 48°C.–65°C. (120°F.–150°F.).

 

Do not use the washer when hot water is

 

used for other needs (dishes, baths, etc.).

Washer is overloaded

Make sure load/water level setting matches

 

load size.

Soak time is too short

Soak at least 30 minutes.

 

 

Soaking with too little detergent

Use more detergent (especially with

 

heavy soil).

Detergent is not dissolving

Add detergent as wash basket fills with

 

water before you load clothes.

To restore grayed clothes,

Put clothes through a wash cycle using hot

try one of the following

water. (Check the garment’s manufacturing

 

care label to see if hot water can be used.)

 

Add a non-precipitating water softener. Use

 

2 1⁄2 times more than is recommended

 

for normal water softening. Do not use

 

detergent or soap. Allow clothes to go

 

through a complete cycle. Repeat if

 

necessary.

 

Soak your clothes using a water softener

 

instead of a soaking agent. Allow clothes

 

to soak for about 20 minutes.
