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.

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.

Clothes must circulate freely through the
water for best results.

Unremoved Soil

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.
