Washer setting

What washer setting for white clothes?

Use normal for sturdy white cottons. Choose delicate for lace, knits, synthetics, or trim that needs gentler care.

Cycle
Normal
Temperature
Warm or hot water if the care label allows
Spin
Medium or high spin

Care-label caveats

  • Sort whites from dark or bright colors before washing.
  • Use chlorine bleach only when the fabric care label and product label both allow it.
  • Treat stains before drying; dryer heat can set some stains.
  • Elastic, spandex, prints, and delicate trim can be damaged by hot water or high dryer heat.
