Laundry Aids Use Comments
Soak/Pretreat
Products • Use a pretreating agent and soak overnight to remove
stains and soils.
• Always follow manufacturer’s instructions with any
pretreat product (Spray ‘N Wash, Shout*, etc.).
• Do not use a pretreating agent
with chlorine bleach.
• Do not use pretreaters around the
washer or dryer control panel. They
may harm the finish or panel
markings.
Detergents/Soaps • Use low-sudsing, high efficiency (HE) detergent
(recommended for frontload washers) in your washer.
• When using detergents made for topload washers, use
1/2 of the recommended amount to prevent
oversudsing. Using these detergents may decrease
cleaning performance.
• Soap and powered detergent will
not give good washing results in
hard water. Soap in hard water will
form sticky deposits.
• We do not recommend the use of
powered soap when washing in cold
water.
Bleaches • Use to remove certain stains, disinfect, and keep
clothes white.
• Do not use powered bleach in the bleach dispenser
compartments. Powdered bleach can be used in the
detergent compartment only.
• Use liquid bleach in the proper dispenser compartment
only. Do not add bleach to the wash load.
• Follow directions on care label of garment.
• Do not use bleach as a substitute for detergent.
• Always measure the bleach. Never
exceed maximum level on bleach
dispenser.
• Never use chlorine bleach and
ammonia in the same wash cycle.
• Add powdered bleach along with
the detergent.
Bleach Alternatives • In some cases, mild bleaching may be accomplished
using white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide or lemon juice as
a pretreater. • Always test to be sure that the
product will not damage fabric by
applying to a small part of the
fabric that is not easily seen.
Fabric Softeners • Use to soften clothes and remove static electricity
from permanent press knits and other fabrics of
manufactured fibers.
• Add to the fabric softener dispenser compartment.
Follow bottle directions carefully.
• Do not add fabric softener directly
to load. Use fabric softener dispenser.
• Do not mix with detergent or bleach.
• Do not fill past maximum level on
dispenser compartment.
