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.
Knits of Manufactured Fibers • Use PERM PRESS cycle.
• Wash water should be warm, or suitable for color and soil.
• Rinse water should be cold.
• Do not wash with lint-shedding fabrics.
Sweaters of Manufactured Fibers • Follow directions for comparable knits.
• Button sweaters and turn inside out.
• Stretch to shape after washing.
• Avoid pulling when wet.
Wool Items
• Unless labeled “machine washable,” wash by hand.
Permanent Press • Wash often. Permanent press clothes tend to look clean even when they should
be washed.
• Do not wash with lint-shedding loads.
• Pretreat grease stains and oily areas.
• Use the PERM PRESS cycle, hot or warm water, cold rinse and sufficient
detergent.
• Use fabric softener in the rinse water. This will reduce the static electricity which
attracts lint and makes garments cling.
Problem Cause Solution
Gray or Dingy
Clothes
Insufficient Detergent Add more detergent to washtub 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.
Nonphosphate Detergent and Hard
Water
Follow package directions. Soften water if possible.
Overcrowding Washer Clothes must circulate freely through the water for best results.
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 may be
needed.
Clothes Stained From Iron in the Water To test if an iron stain, use a rust remover 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 measure and
dilute bleach. Take extra care to avoid unwanted spilling.
Overcrowding or Overloading Make sure all items can move freely during agitation.
Insufficient Precare Fasten all hooks and zippers. Mend tears. Remove objects from
pockets.
