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 recommended amount of low-sudsing

detergent to dispenser drawer before

loading clothes.

Mild detergents are not suitable for aver-

age 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.

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 for an iron stain, use a rust remov-

er that is recommended for use with

washing machines on a portion of the gar-

ment. 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 keep level at or below maximum in

bleach dispenser compartment.

Insufficient Precare Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend tears.

Remove objects from pockets.
