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 detergentif
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.
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:
Place detergent in the filter pan for
normal conditions, but, for best
results, put it next to the agitator
after the clothes have been loaded.
If your detergent doesn’t dissolve
well, predissolve the detergent in
hot water, then pour directly into
the wash basket.
