Simpson Helpful Hints in Dealing with Washing Problems15

Residues on Washed Items
Some detergents have ingredients which do not
fully dissolve and as a consequence, may leave
white residue or particles evident on the surface of
darker clothes in the finished wash load. Similarly
some soils may not dissolve fully, resulting in
residue evident on lighter coloured clothes.
Stained Clothes - Hints for
Removing Stains
The guide to stain removal on page 17 may assist
you in stain removal.
Treat all stains as soon as possible. The longer you
leave a stain the harder it will be to remove. Try
soakers and stain removers first.
If you use pre-treatment sprays or stain removers,
apply them to the clothes items in a well ventilated
area away from your washing machine.
NOTE: Chemicals referred to for stain removal are
available from your local supermarket, hardware store
or the chemist.
Pre-treatment sprays and stain removers
can damage plastic components on your
washing machine.
Do no use dry cleaning fluids or solvents
near your washing machine. These fluids
will damage your washing machine and
may cause an explosion.
If you are experiencing residue on some clothes,
the following tips will help:
Check that you are using frontload type
detergent to minimise over-sudsing. You may
find different brands of detergent give better
results. Liquid detergent may be better than
powder in your situation.
Avoid the use of hot water on stains as hot
water will set stains.
Use light strokes and don’t rub the stain
remover into the fabric.
If you use a chlorine bleach, follow the
instructions on the bottle and dilute it before
putting it on clothing.
Test coloured fabrics on an inside seam for
colour fastness before using any stain removers
or bleaches.
Test synthetic fabric on an inside seam before
using any chemicals or bleaches.
Pre-mix the detergent thoroughly in warm or
hot water to improve the dissolving.
Reduce detergent dosage to between a 1/2 and
2/3 of the manufacturer’s standard
recommendation to avoid over concentration
(the lower water usage requires lower
detergent usage.)
Some residue maybe re-deposited lint, so be
careful not to have lint-producing items in a load
which has darker clothes.
Select deep rinse and not eco rinse to help flush
more particles away.
Reduce the clothes load size per wash to give
more freedom for the clothes to move around
in the wash bowl.
Use another program as below, which has been
designed to minimise residual particles (they are
in order of increasing benefit and will help you
choose the best program for your wash load.)
