Soaking and Pre-treating-
a good way to loosen deep soils
and
stains.
A thorough soaking with detergent
or special soaking agent is another
way to remove heavy soils,
embedded dirt and even some
stains.
Soaking can be either a completely
separate washing step or a prelim-
inary step to a complete wash cycle.

to
soak
in your washer, see page

Pre-treat heavy soil by rubbing in
a small amount of liquid detergent
or a paste made of water and powdered
detergent or soap. For best results,
wait
1/2
hour before washing.
