Warnings & Directions
Directions for Use:
Begin your laundry day by sorting jammies, bibs, blankets. Check for stains and treat them right away. Next, select the right water temperature. Use HOT water for whites, colorfast pastels and light prints. Use WARM water for moderate colors and comfy knits. COLD water works best for bright colors and fabrics that may fade. Finally, add 1/2 capful of Laundry Detergent per load. For an extra-large or particularly messy load use 3/4 capful. Don't worry, it's very gentle! HOUSEHOLD HINT Be sure to act quickly when it comes to stains. You'll have a lot of them as your baby starts eating solid food. First, make sure the garment or linen doesn't fade by dipping a rarely seen corner into a small amount of Laundry Detergent and hot water. Rinse and dry. If the color doesn't seem to fade, proceed. If the entire garment (or load) is soiled, add 1/2 capful of Laundry detergent to a washer full of warm water. Allow to soak overnight. Drain the washing machine, then launder as usual.
Caution:
CAUTION: EYE IRRITANT. Avoid eye contact. Keep out of reach of children and pets. If product gets in eyes flush with water for 15 minutes. If swallowed, drink a glassful of water. Consult physician if irritation persists.
