How to Avoid Detergent Residue on Clothes From a Top-Load Washer

1. Make sure you’re using the detergent dispenser. If there’s no dispenser, add detergent to the bottom of the washtub before adding the laundry load.

2. Always use fresh detergent. We recommend using liquid detergent, especially for cold-water or slow-speed cycles.

3. Don’t overload the washer. Tightly packing the load can trap detergent. Large loads should fill only about three-quarters of the machine.

Remember to consult your owner’s manual first for information on how to properly care for your specific appliance.
