Clothing Concerns
To keep clothes looking white or bright, use good washing practices at all times to prevent a gradual build-up
of soil or water hardness minerals on them. If you notice that your clothes are not as bright as they should
be, take corrective measures immediately.
Problem Cause Solution
Gray or Dingy Clothes Insufficient Detergent Add recommended amount of low-sudsing detergent to
dispenser drawer before loading clothes. Mild detergents are
not suitable for average soil.
Improper Sorting Wash whites separately. Separate light from heavily soiled
items. Clothes can pick up soil from dirty wash water.
Water Not Hot Enough White clothes will stay whiter with hot wash water. Increase
temperature.
Yellowed Clothes Unremoved Soil Skin soil is hard to remove. Check hem edge of sheets and
pillowcases, bottom end of t-shirts, etc. If this portion is
white and center is yellow, the fabric contains unremoved soil.
Use sufficient detergent and a hot wash. Chlorine bleach or
powered bleach may be needed.
Clothes Stained from Iron in the
Water To test for an iron stain, use a rust remover that is
recommended for use with washing machines on a portion of
the garment. Follow bottle directions for larger items.
Older Clothes Some white fabrics turn yellow with age and cannot be
whitened.
Clothes Tearing or Damaged Improper Use of Chlorine Bleach No correction for bleach damaged clothes. Always keep level
at or below maximum in bleach dispenser compartment.
Insufficient Precare Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend tears. Remove objects
from pockets.
Excessive Lint Improper Sorting Fabrics that shed lint cannot be washed with fabrics that
receive lint.
Insufficient Detergent Use enough detergent so lint remains suspended in water and
flushed out. Do not oversuds the water.
Mixing Fabric Types Knits and permanent press attract lint. Wash these only with
similar items. Use fabric softener in dispenser drawer.
Wrinkling Improper Sorting Heavy items like towels should not be washed with light items
like nightgowns.
Improper Cycle Make sure cycle selected is appropriate for type of clothes.
Improper Temperature Using a warm or cold wash and a cold rinse reduces wrinkling.
