Insufficient detergent. You may need to increase amount of detergent
used if load is larger than normal, if soils are oily or heavier than
average, if water level is large or if water is Hard to Extremely Hard.
Water not hot enough for type of load. Be sure water heater is set to
deliver hot water at the washer at 140°-15001?Do not wash when other
hot water needs—such as dishwashing or family baths—are heavy.
Poor or inferior detergent, Change to phosphate detergent, if
possible. Follow these steps:
1. Use water conditioner, (such as Calgon brand)
2. Pre-treat stains
3. Use hottest water possible
4. Use bleach where possible
5, Use pre-soak aids
6. Install water softener
Washer overloaded. Clothes cannot move freely to loosen and remove
soil, causing gray appearance. Follow correct loading procedures for
size of load.
Improper soaking with insufficient detergent. Usually a 30-minute
soak is sufficient. However, when using extended soaks for heavily
soiled garments you may need to use twice the recommended amount
of detergent.
Use of soap in hard water. Switch to a phosphate detergent, or follow
six steps described above.
Washing too long may result in increased soil deposition. Use shorter
wash times for smaller loads.
Detergent dissolves too slowly. Detergent must be present in the wash
solution at the start of agitation. See page 13.

1.
2.
3.

Hang Tags to determine if hot water is suitable for garment.

with phosphate—use 2l%times as much as you need for normal
water softening.
● Do not use detergent or soap.

softener in place of soak agent or prewash detergent and allow
clothes to soak for about 20 minutes.
