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.
