Soak/Pretreat
Products
Use a pretreating agent and soak overnight to remove
stains and soils.
Always follow manufacturer’s instructions with any
pretreat product (Spray ‘N Wash, Shout*, etc.).
Do not use a pretreating agent
with chlorine bleach.
Do not use pretreaters around the
washer or dryer control panel. They
may harm the finish or panel
markings.
Detergents/Soaps Use low-sudsing, high efficiency (HE) detergent
(recommended for frontload washers) in your washer.
When using detergents made for topload washers, use
1/2 of the recommended amount to prevent
oversudsing. Using these detergents may decrease
cleaning performance.
Soap and powered detergent will
not give good washing results in
hard water. Soap in hard water will
form sticky deposits.
We do not recommend the use of
powered soap when washing in cold
water.
Bleaches Use to remove certain stains, disinfect, and keep
clothes white.
Do not use powered bleach in the bleach dispenser
compartments. Powdered bleach can be used in the
detergent compartment only.
Use liquid bleach in the proper dispenser compartment
only. Do not add bleach to the wash load.
Follow directions on care label of garment.
Do not use bleach as a substitute for detergent.
Always measure the bleach. Never
exceed maximum level on bleach
dispenser.
Never use chlorine bleach and
ammonia in the same wash cycle.
Add powdered bleach along with
the detergent.
Bleach Alternatives In some cases, mild bleaching may be accomplished
using white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide or lemon juice as
a pretreater.
Always test to be sure that the
product will not damage fabric by
applying to a small part of the
fabric that is not easily seen.
Fabric Softeners Use to soften clothes and remove static electricity
from permanent press knits and other fabrics of
manufactured fibers.
Add to the fabric softener dispenser compartment.
Follow bottle directions carefully.
Do not add fabric softener directly
to load. Use fabric softener dispenser.
Do not mix with detergent or bleach.
Do not fill past maximum level on
dispenser compartment.
