PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

 

 

 

 

LINT OR RESIDUE

● Incorrect sorting of clothes. Separate lint producers (such as terry towels and

 

ON CLOTHES

chenille) from lint receivers (such as man-made fabrics, velveteen, corduroy).

 

 

● Washing too long, especially for smaller loads. For normal soil, wash one minute

 

 

per pound of dry clothes,

 

 

● Use of non-phosphate detergents which combine with hardness minerals to form a

 

 

precipitate which can be mistaken for lint. Use a phosphate or liquid detergent; use

 

 

warmer wash water or soften water with an installed mechanical softener or a

 

 

packaged water softener.

 

 

“ Powdery residue from granular detergent may appear to be lint. Predissolve granular

 

 

detergent in hot water before adding to washer; make sure detergent is completely

 

 

dissolved before adding clothes; switch to liquid or cold water detergent or use

 

 

warmer wash water. See Detergent section.

 

 

● Overloading will cause abrasion which creates excessive lint. Wash fewer items

 

 

with correct water level.

 

 

● Too much bleach. Use correct amount of bleach according to package directions.

 

 

9 Not enough detergent to hold lint in suspension during wash cycle, Increase amount

 

 

of detergent. See Detergent section.

 

 

● Incorrect use of fabric softener. If used in wash cycle, softeners may react with

 

 

detergent to create a white deposit. Use softeners in rinse cycle only unless package

 

 

specifies adding to wash cycle. See Other Laundry Products section.

 

 

● Pilling usually on polyester-cotton blends is caused by normal wear and may look

 

 

like lint. Turning clothes inside-out may provide some help.

 

 

● Static electricity caused by overdying will cause attraction. Use fabric softener in

 

 

rinse cycle.

 

 

—

 

GREASY OR OILY

These are sometimes called “Invisible Stains” because you may not notice them before

 

STAINS ON

washing clothes. However, if oily soils are not completely removed in wash cycle,

 

LAUNDERED

the oily spots may pick up dirt from the wash water, The spots will then be very visible.

 

GARMENTS

They are not caused by the washer. Wash synthetic garments as soon as possible after

 

 

wearing. Use more detergent than normal and hottest water fabric can stand. If spots

 

 

appear, rub in undiluted liquid detergent, let stand 30 minutes and rewash with extra

 

 

detergent using hottest water fabric can stand.

GRAYED CLOTHES ● Insufficient detergent. You may need to increase amount of detergent used if load is larger than normal, if soils are oily or heavier than average, if water level is large or if water is Hard to Extremely Hard.

●Water not hot enough for type of load. Be sure water heater is set to deliver hot water to the washer at 120°F.–1500F. (45°C.–650C.). Do not wash when other hot water needs— such as dishwashing or family baths—are heavy.

●Poor or inferior detergent. Change to phosphate detergent, if possible. Follow these steps:

1.Use water conditioner (such as Calgon brand).

2.Pretreat stains.

3.Use the hottest water possible.

4.Use bleach where possible.

5.Use presoak aids.

6.Install water softener.

●Washer overloaded. Clothes cannot move freely to loosen and remove soil, causing

gray appearance. Follow correct loading procedures for size of load.
