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 pickup dirt

notcaused by the washer. Wash synthetic garments as soon as
possible after wearing. Use more detergent than normal 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. Or launder with SP073CRUBBER Cycle—see page 10.
