SortingWashLoads
Sort by color (whites,lights, colors),soil level,
fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates)
and whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth,
chenille)or collects lint (velveteen,corduroy).
ProperUseof Detergent
Add detergent before adding items so that the
detergent can work effectively. Usingtoo little or too
much detergent isa common cause of laundry
problems.
Forspots, apply pre-treatment to items as
recommended on the product label. Application
should be made in the basket to prevent overspray
which may cause the coloring on the lid or graphics
to fade.
Youcan use lessdetergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
When using high efficiency or concentrated
detergents, consult the product label to determine
amount required for optimum performance.
Excessivedetergent will negatively impact wash
performance.
