Clothing Care
Clothing Concerns
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.
Yellowed Clothes 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.
