Using
laundry
aids
Follow package
instructions
when using laundry
aids. (See "Removing
stains" on page 15, for
more information.)
Chlorine
bleach
l
Use bleach dispenser
if your machine
has
one.
l
If your washer does not have a bleach
dispenser:
1. Let the washer fill and begin agitating
the load.
2. Dilute measured
bleach in 1 quart (1L)
of water.
3. Pour bleach around agitator, not directly
on load.
l
Follow directions
on care labels. Do not use
chlorine bleach on wool, silk, spandex,
acetates
or some flame-retardant
fabrics.
l
Measure
bleach. Do not guess. Never use
more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Add
bleach to wash cycle so it can be removed
in
the rinse cycle.
l
When soaking with chlorine bleach, add
detergent
to soak water.
NOTE:
Undiluted
bleach will damage
any fabric
it touches.
The damage
appears
as rips, holes,
tears or color loss and may not show up until
several washings
later.
All-fabric
bleach
l
Powdered
or liquid all-fabric
bleach may be
used on all types of fabrics.
l
Do not use all-fabric
bleach in the bleach
dispenser
because
it may clog.
Detergent
l
Using too little detergent
is a common
cause
of laundry problems.
Follow manufacturer's
directions.
Measure
accurately,
especially
when using ultra detergents.
Package
directions
are usually based on:
-moderate
water hardness
(4-6 grains)
-lightly
soiled items
-normal
mix loads.
l
Use more detergent
for:
-hard water
-cooler
wash water
-full loads
-heavily
soiled items.
l
Do not judge the amount of detergent
to use
by the amount of suds in the machine.
Low
sudsing detergents
do not create as many
suds as normal sudsing detergents.
l
If the recommended
amount of normal
sudsing detergent
creates too many suds or
suds are present in the rinse water, try a low
sudsing detergent.
Fabric
softeners
l
Use fabric softener dispenser
if your machine
has one.
l
If your washer does not have a fabric
softener dispenser,
add diluted fabric
softener only in the final rinse.
l
Always dilute fabric softeners
with
l/2
to 1 cup
(125 to 250 mL) warm water. Undiluted
fabric
softener can stain fabrics.
l
Fabric softeners
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.
l
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.
Fire or Explosion
Hazard
l
Store flammable
solvents
or liquids away
from your washer.
l
Dry cleaning
solvents
or fluids should not
be put directly into your washer.
l
Items treated with solvents
should be
rinsed and air dried before washing
in
your washer.
The fumes from these substances
can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
Personal
Injury
Hazard
l
Never use chlorine bleach with ammonia
or acids. Hazardous
fumes can form.
l
Keep stain removal products
out of the
reach of children
. preferably
in a locked
cabinet.
