WATER TEMPERATURES
• Match the wash and rinse water
temperature to the type of fabrics
and soils being washed.
• All rinses are cold. Cold rinses save
energy and help prevent wrinkles
from setting into fabrics.

soiled permanent press or knit
clothes, pre-wash or pre-soak
before washing in warm water.
