Soak/Pretreat
Products
● Use a soaking agent and follow steps under “Soaking”
in your Operating Instructions insert or soak overnight
to remove stains and soils.
● Always follow manufacturer’s instructions with any
pretreatment product.
● Do not use a soaking 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 ● You may use detergent or soap in your washer. The
determining factor is the hardness of the water. Always
use detergent if the water is over three grains hard.
● Soap and nonphosphate powdered
detergents will not give good
washing results in hard water. Soap
in hard water will form sticky
deposits.
● The use of powdered soap is not
recommended when washing in
cold water.
Bleaches
● Use to remove certain stains, disinfect, and keep
clothes white.
● Use bleach in the wash water only. Do not use bleach
in the rinse.
● Follow directions on care label of garment.
● Bleach should not be used as a substitute for detergent.
Use the recommended amount of bleach.
● When using liquid chlorine bleach,
always use the bleach dispenser.
● Always measure the bleach. Never
exceed one cup of bleach per full
load.
● Never use chlorine bleach and
ammonia in the same wash cycle.
Fabric Softeners ● Use to soften clothes and remove static electricity from
permanent press knits and other fabrics of man-made
fibers.
● Add during the rinse cycle, or if available, use the
fabric softener dispenser, using no other product in the
rinse. Follow bottle directions carefully.
● Undiluted fabric softener poured
directly on clothes can stain them.
● Do not mix with detergent or
bleach.
Water
Conditioners
Non-Precipitating
Type
● These products soften water by tying up the hardness
minerals and are recommended if using soap when
water is over three grains hard, or when using
nonphosphate detergents.
Precipitating Type
● These products settle out hardness minerals by
converting them into particles that will not dissolve in
the water. If used with nonphosphate detergent or soap
in hard water, a deposit may form on the clothes and
washer parts.
● Do not use with nonphosphate
detergents or soaps.
