What to Do
• Separate lint producers from
lint collectors.
• Wash small loads for a shorter time than
larger loads.
• For best performance always add detergent
before adding clothes. If you use powdered
detergent, pre-dissolve detergent in hot water
before adding to washer.
• Try a liquid detergent.
• Use warmer water temperature.
• Make sure load/water level setting matches
load size.
• Check bleach package for correct amount.
• Try using more detergent.
• Check fabric softener package for
instructions (see Fabric Softener
Dispenser section).
• Avoid mixing heavy items (like work
clothes) with light items (like blouses).
• Separate permanent press from
other laundry.
• Try a fabric softener.
• Load your washer so clothes have enough
room to move freely.
• Match Cycle selection to the type of fabric
you are washing (especially for permanent
press loads).
• Wash in warm or cold water with plenty
of detergent.
