Enough detergent was used

drained soil can stick to outer tub of the
washer and cause greasy spots with
next load.
kerns were clean before they
were dried
Soiled items can stain other items in the
bad. They can also leave stains on the
dryer drum that can be picked up by
items in later loads. Dryer heat may
permanently set these stains.
Llnt
Lint screen is clogged
Load is properly sorted
Clean lint screen. (See page 9.)
Sort lint-givers (bath towels. etc.) from
lint-takers (synthetics, permanent
press).
Static electriciiy is attracting lint
Load is too bg or heavy
Use fabric softener in the washer’s final
rinse. Use corred dryer settings for
fabric. Overdrying synthetics can cause
lint-attracting static electrici.
Dry smaller loads. When items can’t
tumble freely, air is unable to carry lint
to lint screen.
Paper or tissue was in pocket
Enough detergent was used

Pilling is being mistaken for lint

normal wear and laundering. Pills do not
break away easily from the fabric and
can often collect lint. Synthetic fabrics
are more likely to pill than others,
especially at neckbands, elbows and
knees.
