BEFORE WASHING CLOTHES
BEFORE USING YOUR LAUNDRYPURE FOR THE FIRST TIME
IF YOUR WASHING MACHINE IS NEW, skip this section and continue below.
IF YOUR WASHING MACHINE IS NOT NEW you will need to perform this procedure to help remove any detergent buildup that may contaminate your clothing.
1. Do not put clothes in the washer at this time.
Set your machine to its largest load setting, cold water only.
2. Start the washer and let it run through every cycle.
3. Once it has finished, repeat Steps 1 and 2 three more times.
Depending on the age and severity of detergent buildup, it may be necessary to perform Step 3 several times.
CAUTION:
To avoid the possibility of water damage, should a hose leak, always have faucets accessible and turn o faucets when washer is not in use.
NOTE: If you have a front loading washer, odors can develop
due to stagnant water left inside. If musty odors develop it may be necessary to run a commercially available cleaner made especially for front loading washers to eliminate such odors.
USING YOUR LAUNDRYPURE
COLD HOT
NORMAL OPERATION
Using your LaundryPure is as simple as turning on the washing machine. LaundryPure is designed to use the COLD/COLD setting of your washing machine.
DETERGENT AND FABRIC SOFTENER
You may choose to continue to use detergent and/or fabric softeners if desired. However, to completely experience all the benefits of your new LaundryPure, we recommend washing using nothing but cold water. NEVER apply detergent directly to dry clothes. Allow washer to fill, then add detergent to prevent staining on clothes.

HEAVY STAINS
For heavy stains, pre-treat area, apply pre-treater (such as Re:Move), rub gently and let stand for several minutes. Wash as normal.
