How to Partially Restore Clothes
Once clothes have developed limestone deposits, they
may be partially restored by soaking in
a
solution
of
two
cups
(480
ml) of vinegar in one gallon
(3.8
liters) of hot
tap water for
15
minutes. USE A PLASTIC CONTAINER.
Then wash clothes in the washer using detergent.
CAUTIONS:
● Do not use vinegar soak solution in washer.
The acidic action of the vinegar may damage
the porcelain.
● Vinegar soak solution may reduce the
wrinkle-resistance of permanent press fabrics.
● Vinegar soak
may
damage the dyes in some fabrics.
HOW MUCH DETERGENT SHOULD YOU USE?
The
use of
a
sufficient amount of detergent is one of the most
important things you can do to make sure your wash comes out clean.
Amount required varies
according to:
1.
Water hardness
2. Amount of soil
3.
Size of load
4. Type of detergent
5. Wash temperature
Use more detergent if you have...
1. Hard water
2. Large loads
3. Greasy or
oily
soils
4. Lower wash temperature
5. Low phosphate detergent
If the recommended amount of
detergent produces too many suds,
switch to a low
sudsing
detergent
brand, and follow instructions
on package.

detergent is a
common cause
