PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Greasy, oily 
stains
•  Fabric softener sheet.
•  Rub fabric softener stains 
with bar soap. Rinse and 
rewash.
•  Add a few bath towels 
to small loads for proper 
tumbling.
•  Some “silk-like” fabrics 
should be air dried.
•  Use proper drying tempera-
ture.
•  Place fabric softener sheet 
on top of load before start-
ing the dryer.
Lint
• Overloading.
•  Overdrying causes static 
electricity.
•  Lint screen not clean when 
cycle began.
•  Lint is attached to “pills.”
•  Reduce load size and 
rewash using liquid fabric 
softener in the fi nal rinse.
•  Or, add a fabric softener 
sheet and tumble without 
heat.
•  Use lint brush or roller to 
remove lint.
•  Do not overload dryer.
•  Use fabric softener in 
washer or dryer to reduce 
static electricity.
•  Remove items when they 
are slightly damp to avoid 
overdrying.
•  Check that lint fi lter is clean 
and in place.
Pilling
(Fibers break 
off, ball up and 
cling to fabric.)
•  Overdrying.
•  Use a lint brush or shaver to 
remove pills.

cate fi bers. 
•  When ironing, use spray 
starch or fabric fi nish on

Isolated wet 
spots on fabrics
after completed 
Steam cycle

home is not suffi cient to
