Directions from Packaging

LAUNDRY HOW-TO Begin your laundry day by sorrting clothes and linens. Check for stains and items left in pockets (candy wrappers, lunch tickets, coins, etc). Next, select the right water temperature. Use HOT water for whites, colorfast and light prints. Use WARM water for permanent press clothes and jeans. COLD water works best for bright colors and fabrics that tend to fade. Then add Laundry Detergent: 1/2 capful for an ordinary load, 3/4 capful for an extra-large or particularly filthy load of clothing. Don't worry, it's easy! HOUSEHOLD HINT For TOUGH STAINS: Act quickly when it comes to stains. 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, here's what you should do next: 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. If you just have a little spot, dab full-strength Laundry Detergent directly onto the spot and let it sit for a minute or two. Wash as usual.


Warnings

COMMON SENSE CAUTION: Avoid eye contact. Keep out of reach of children.

Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
