Directions from Packaging

SORT Separate laundry according to color and follow temperature directions. MEASURE Fill to line 2 for large loads and heavily soiled large loads. Fill to line 1 for large loads and heavily soiled medium loads. Fill to the bottom line for medium loads. NOTE: Use same dosage for both HE and Non-HE Machines. ADD Add Fab Love Duet to water before clothes. Do not overfill washer with laundry. COLOR-FASTNESS TEST: Dip a hidden corner of fabric into Fab and hot water. Rinse and let dry. Proceed with treating if color is unchanged. PRE-TREAT (SMALLER SPOTS AND STAINS): Follow color-fast garment testing. Wet spotted or stained area with water. Make a paste of Fab and water and rub into soiled area. Launder as usual. For more convenient pre-treating, use Fab Love Duet liquid detergent. PRE-SOAKING (MORE DIFFICULT STAINS): Follow color-fast garment testing. Add 1/2 scoop of detergent per gallon of warm water. Soak in a bucket or your washer for 30 minutes (overnight if necessary) using the warmest water as recommended on garment care label. Drain water and wash as usual.

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.
