● Empty pockets, brush out cuffs, zip zippers, snap
snaps, hooks and buttons.

different fabrics and
loads, see the Controls
Setting Guide.
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 preliminary step to a complete wash cycle.
For detailed information on how to soak in your
washer, see the How to Use the Soak Cycle section.

Pretreat 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. Or wash small, extremely
soiled loads in the Mini-Basket tub using the
SPOTSCRUBBER Cycle.
