How to Partially Restore Clothes
Once clothes have developed limestone deposits, they
may be partially restored by soaking in a solution of
two cups (480 ml) of vinegar in one gallon (3.8 liters)
of hot tap water for 15 minutes. USE A PLASTIC
CONTAINER. Then wash clothes in the washer
using detergent.
CAUTIONS:
● Do not use vinegar soak solution in washer.
The acidic action of the vinegar may damage
the porcelain.
● Vinegar soak solution may reduce the
wrinkle-resistance of permanent press fabrics.
● Vinegar soak
may
damage the dyes in some fabrics.

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 detergent if 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

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.
To use granular or powdered
detergent in the Mini-Basket tub,
put detergent in the
bottom
of Mini-
Basket tub
before
loading clothes.
To use liquid detergent,
in regular
clothes basket or Mini-Basket tub,
follow package directions.
1. Use recommended amount
of detergent for your load
and water hardness as shown
in guide at left.
2. When using other detergent
types—low and normal suds,
powders, liquids,
non-
phosphate powders— follow
directions on package.
3. For Extra Cleaning cycle
double the amount of
detergent recommended
in guide at left.
4. For hard water treatment, see
