How to Partially Restore Clothes
Once clothes have developed limestone deposits,
they may be partially restored by soaking in a solution
of two cups (480 ml) of vinegar in one gallon (3.8 liters)
of hot tap water for 15 minutes. USE A PLASTIC
CONTAINER. Then wash clothes in
tie
washer
using detergent.
CAUTIONS:
● Do not use vinegar soak solution in washer.
The acidic action of the vinegar may damage
the porcelain.
● Vinegar soak solution may reduce the
wrinkle-resistance of permanent press fabrics.
● Vinegar soak may damage the dyes in
some fabrics.

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.
1. Use recommended amount
of detergent for your load
and water hardness as shown
in guide at left.
2. When using other detergent
types—low and normal suds,
powders, liquids, non-phosphate
powders—follow directions
on package.
3. For hard water treatment, see
Hard Water Guide.
