HOW MUCH DETERGENT SHOULD YOU USE?
The use of a sufficient amount of detergent is one of the most
important things you can do to make sure your wash comes out clean.
Amount required varies
according to:
1. Water hardness
2. Amount of soil
3. Size of load
4. Type of detergent
5. Wash temperature
Use more detergent if you have...
1. Hard water
2. Large loads
3. Greasy or oily soils
4. Lower wash temperature
5. Low phosphate detergent
If the recommended amount of
detergent produces too many suds,
switch to a low
sudsing
detergent
brand, and follow instructions
on package.
Using too little
detergent is a
common cause
of laundry
problems. Always

How to use
detergent—
granular or powdered:
For best results, add detergent
to the wash basket before loading
clothes. If you load your clothes
first, add detergent next to
the agitator.
If your detergent doesn’t dissolve
well,
predissolve
the detergent in
hot water, then pour directly into
the wash basket.
