Proper Use of
Detergent
Using too much detergent is a common cause
of laundry problems. Today’s detergents are
formulated to be effective without highly visible
sudsing. Be sure to carefully read and follow
manufacturer’s recommendations for how
much detergent to use in your wash.
You can use less detergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
NOTE: Use only low-sudsing, high-efficiency
detergent such as Tide
