These are sometimes called “Invisible Stains” because you may not notice them before

washing clothes. However, if oily soils are not completely removed in wash cycle, the

oily spots may pick up dirt from the wash water. The spots will then be very visible.

They are not caused by the washer. Wash synthetic garments as soon as possible after

wearing. Use more detergent than

norrnd

and hottest water fabric can stand. If spots

appear, rub in undiluted liquid detergent, let stand 30 minutes and rewash using hottest

water fabric can stand.

directiy

on clothes;

always dilute before adding to rinse water. To remove stains: dampen stained area and

rub with undiluted liquid detergent.

for smaller loads.
