If the recommended amount of
detergent produces too many suds,
switch to a low sudsing detergent
brand, and follow instructions on
package.
Using too little detergent is
a common cause of laundry
problems. Always measure
detergent in a standard
measuring cup.
How to use detergent—granular
or powdered:
For best results, add detergent to
the wash basket before loading
clothes. If you load your clothes
first, add detergent next to the
agitator.
If your detergent doesn’t dissolve
well, predissolve the detergent in
hot water, then pour directly into
the wash basket.
