If you are experiencing residue on some
clothes, the following tips will help:
If you use pre-treatment sprays or stain
removers, apply them to the clothes
items in a well ventilated area away
from your washing machine.
Residues On Washed Items
Stained Clothes
Pre-mix the detergent thoroughly in
warm water to improve the dissolving.
Treat all stains as soon as possible. The
longer you leave a stain the harder it will
be to remove. Try soakers and stain
removers first.
Use light strokes and don’t rub the
stain remover into the fabric.
If you use a chlorine bleach, follow the
instructions on the bottle and dilute it
before putting it on clothing.
Test coloured fabrics on an inside
seam for colour fastness before using
any stain removers or bleaches.
Test synthetic fabric on an inside
seam before using any chemicals or
bleaches.
Reduce detergent dosage to between
a 1/2 and 2/3 of the manufacturer’s
standard recommendation to avoid
over concentration (the lower water
usage requires lower detergent usage).
Some residue may be re-deposited
lint, so be careful to not have lint
producing items in a load which has
darker clothes.
Select Deep rinse or Extra rinse and
NOT Eco or Fast rinse to help flush
more particles away.
HELPFUL HINTS IN DEALING WITH WASHING PROBLEMS
Some detergents have ingredients
which do not fully dissolve and as a
consequence, may leave white
residue or particles evident on the
surface of darker clothes in the
finished wash load.
Similarly, some soils may not
dissolve fully, resulting in residue
evident on lighter coloured clothes.
Pre-treatment sprays and stain
removers can damage plastic
components on your washing
machine.
Do no use dry cleaning fluids or
solvents near your washing machine.
These fluids will damage your
washing machine and may cause an
explosion.
NOTE: Chemicals referred to for stain
removal are available from your local
supermarket, hardware store or the
chemist.
