Adding liquid chlorine bleach
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do
not guess. Never use more than 1 cup
(250 mL) for a full load. Use less with lower
water level settings. Follow manufacturer’s
directions for safe use. Use a cup with a
pouring spout to avoid spilling.
1. Let the washer fill and begin agitating
the load.
2. Add bleach to wash cycle so it can be
removed in the rinse cycle. Pour bleach
around agitator, not directly on load.
• Follow directions on care labels. Do not
use chlorine bleach on wool, silk,
spandex, acetates, or some flame-
retardant fabrics.
• When soaking with chlorine bleach, add
detergent to soak water.
NOTE: Undiluted bleach will damage any
fabric K touches. The damage appears as
rips, holes, tears, or color loss and may not
show up until several washings later.
Adding liquid fabric softener
• Always dilute liquid fabric softener with Vz
to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water.
Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics.
• Add diluted fabric softener only in the final
rinse.
• Fabric softener should not be mixed with
other laundry products because greasy
stains may form. If stains form, remove by
wetting the stain and rubbing with liquid
detergent or a bar of soap. Rewash the
stained item.
• Too much fabric softener can make some
items (diapers and towels) nonabsorbent.
If this happens, use less fabric softener or
do not use it every time.
