Soak/Pretreat
Products
• Use a soaking agent and follow steps under To
Wash Clothes section 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.
• Always put detergent or soap into
wash tub before loading the
clothes.
• 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. Recommended if using soap
with water 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.
