on them, use proper washing practices at all times. If
you notice that your clothes are not as bright as they
should be, take corrective measures immediately.
Solution
Add recommended amount of low-sudsing detergent to
dispenser drawer before loading clothes. Mild detergents are
not suitable for average soil.
Wash whites separately. Separate light from heavily soiled
items. Clothes can pick up soil from dirty wash water.
White clothes will stay whiter with hot wash water. Increase
temperature.
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 or
powdered bleach may be needed.
To test for an iron stain, use a rust remover that is
recommended for use with washing machines on a portion of
the garment. Follow bottle directions for larger items.
Some white fabrics turn yellow with age and cannot be
whitened.
No correction for bleach damaged clothes. Always keep level
at or below maximum in bleach dispenser compartment.
Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend tears. Remove objects
from pockets.
Fabrics which shed lint should not be washed with fabrics
that receive lint.
Use enough detergent so lint remains suspended in water and
flushed out. Do not oversuds the water.
Knits and permanent press attract lint. Wash these only with
similar items. Use fabric softener in dispenser drawer.
