Many stains that have not set into
the fabric can be automatically
removed in your washer’s
SPO13CRUBBER Cycle.
(See page 10.)
Getting stains out of items that are
too big to be laundered in the Mini-
Basket tub is more difficult. The
Stain Removal Guide on the next
page suggests waysof treating
stains by hand.
Whetheryouuse theSP07SCZ?UBBER
Cycle shortcut or apply stain
removal products by hand:
● Try to remove stains as soon as
possible. The fresher the stain, the
easier it is to remove.
● Before attempting to remove
any stain, check the care label
instructions that came with the
garment.
. Some detergents are more
effective in removing certain stains
than others. If the stain remains
afier you have tried the
SP07X’RUBBER stain removal
shortcut, try another brand.
If you elect to apply stain
removal products by hand:
● Find the fabric and the finish in
the guide on the next page, and use
only recommended methods.
● Test stain removal product on a
hidden inside seam or on a sample
of the material.
. Follow stain removal with a
thorough rinsing.
● Washwith recommended amount
of soap or detergent.
Stain Removal Hint—
Using Chlorine Bleach for
White and Bleachable Fabrics.
Mix 1/4cup (60ml) chlorine bleach
with one gallon (3.8liter) ofcool
water—approximately 80°F (27°C)—
ina sink or pan. Soak stained area
for 5minutes and launder in washer.
The Case of the
“Invisible” Stain
Food or cooking oils on your
synthetic garments may cause stains
which are virtually invisible and
which you may not notice as you
put your clothes into the washer.
If these stains are not completely
removed in the wash, the oily spots
may pick up dirt from the wash
water. Then they will become very
visible and you may think they were
caused by the wash cycle itself.
Once these spots become visible,
how can you remove them?
● Wash spotted fabrics in the
Mini-Basket tub using the
SPOX!KRUBBER Cycle and hottest
water the fabric can stand.
. Another wayto remove these
spots is to rub them in undiluted
liquid detergent and let stand 30
minutes, then re-wash using hottest
water the fabric can stand.
How can you prevent these
“After-You-Wash”stains?
. Increase the amount of detergent
normally used.
● Increase water temperature where
fabric will permit.
● Washsynthetic garments more
often.
