Washer - Colored Stains on Clothes

Blue, green, yellow, pink, white, orange, or gray colored stains are probably caused by improper use of liquid fabric softener in your washer. While there might be other causes, we suggest considering the tips below if colored stains appear when the wash load is complete.

Preventing Stains

• Undiluted fabric softener should never be poured directly on the fabric. Be sure to dilute before you add to the rinse water.

• If your washer is equipped with a fabric softener dispenser, dilute the softener before filling the dispenser. Also, lifting the lid during the spin, following the wash, may cause improper dispensing, which can result in stains.

Note: If your Top Load washer has a Fabric Softener rinse option on the control panel, it must be selected for the fabric softener to dispense properly. This option may be called "Fabric Softener", "Clean Rinse" or "Deep Rinse (Select when adding Fabric Softener)".

Correcting Stains

• Dampen the stained area with water that is as hot as is safe for the fabric.

• If spotting is in a small area, rub bar soap on the spots and rinse thoroughly.

• If staining is throughout the garment or an entire load of clothes, launder twice using liquid detergent and water that is as hot as is safe for the fabric.
