Tips
Hyourclothesand household
itemsdon’tlookclean and fresh
after washing,you will probably
re-washthem..●nd thatmeans
you’llwasteenergy.Remember
to sortyourclothescarefully,and
load themproperly,selectcorrect
cycles,use enoughdetergentand
chooseawatertemperaturewarm
enoughto releaseand get rid of
soil.
“Use HotWash—140°F.
(60°C.)—-onaregularbasis only
when washingheavily soiled
articles-such as work and play
clothes.
●Under normalsoilconditions,
wash in water above 80°F.(27”C.).
This generallymeans using the
WarmWashtemperaturesetting on
your washer-temperatures
approximately95°F.(35°C.). If
you noticethatsoilhas
accumulatedafter several
consecutivewashings,use Hot
Washoccasionally,if safe for
fabrics.
@Always rinse in Cold Water.The
temperatureof the rinse does not
affect cleaning
sTry to wash lessoften. Save
~articlesof the same type of fabric
until you have afullload.
●If you must wash smaller loads,
adjust the amount of water. Small
loads shou]dhave lower water
levels.
●Wash in off-peak utility hours.
Yourlocal utility can tell you
which are the off-peak hours.

~Use hotter washwater,for

This also improvesoily-soil

~If youwash in cooler waterto
saveenergy, use more detergentto
promotebetter washing.Also be
sure to use bleach on bleachable
fabrics. Use hot water whenever
possible.
~Adddetergentand allowwasher

POSSIBLECAUSEAND REMEDY
@Leavingclothesin dryer aftertumblingstops.Removeclothesimmediately

@Toomanyitemsindryer. Dry onlyonewasherloadat atime. Do not
combineloads.
@Toofewitemsin dryer. If dryingonly one article, add two or more similar
articles,evenif dry,to insurepropertumbling.
@Improper sortingofload. AvoidlaunderingheavyPermanentPress items,
suchas work clothes, with lighterPermanentPress items suchas shirtsor
blouses.Also do notwashor dry PermanentPress itemswithordinary items
suchastowels,bed linens, etc.
@Toomany itemsin washer.Itemsmusthaveroom to movefreely.Permanent
Press loadsshouldalwaysbe smallerthan regular loads.. .no more than
mediumloads.
~Useofincorrect washand dry cycles.Use Permanent Press WashCycle. This
cycleprovidesacool-downrinseto minimizewrinkling. Also, use Permanent
Press Dry Cycle(onmodels soequipped).
@Incorrect waterlevel. Use largewaterlevelformedium load; mediumlevel
for smallload.
@Washingrepeatedly in waterthat is too hot for the fabric. Washthese fabrics
in coolor warm waterwith plenty ofdetergent.
@Accumulationoflime scaledueto use ofcarbonate detergents.If a
non-phosphatedetergentmust be used, avoidthe use of acarbonate-built
detergent.
@Failureto use fabric softener.Proper use offabric softenerwill minimize
wrinkling.
TOremove stubborn wrinkIes—
1. Retumbleon “Permanent Press” setting (on models soequipped) with
smallload.
2. Rerinse and dry on “Permanent Press” setting(on models so equipped).
3.Some wrinkles may remain. These wrinkles cannotbe removed?
*~~E: If you followgood laundry procedures and Permanent Press clothes stiil COIIEoUt
wrinkled, the finish may not be goodquality. Also, in permanent press synthetic/cottonMends,
the cotton portion of the fabric can eventuallywear awayleavingonly the synthetic. Since the
cotton has resin finish that imparts the memory, aloss or decrease of permanent press
pefiormance will result.
~Incorrect sorting ofclothes. Do not wash lint-producers (such as terry
:owelsand chenille) with lint-receivers (such as man-made fabrics,
Jelveteen,corduroy).
~Washingtoo long for load size. Shorten wash time for smaller loads. For
lorrnal soil, use 1minute per pound of dry clothes.
~Use ofnon-phosphate detergents. Some of these detergents react with
lardnessminerals in water to forma precipitate which can be mistaken for lint.
~heprecipitate can buildup in the fabrics making them more abrasive and
ncreasing lint.
a) If possible, use phosphate detergent or liquid detergent.
b)Install awater softener to reduce hardness.
c)Use awarmer wash water.
$‘Useapackaged water softener.
