Adding detergent correctly to your Whirlpool WTW5010LW washer is essential for optimal cleaning performance. Always use HE (High Efficiency) detergents specifically formulated for high-efficiency washers. Begin by measuring the appropriate amount of HE detergent or placing a single-dose laundry packet directly into the washing machine's drum. If you're using oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals, add these to the bottom of the wash basket before loading your clothes. Always consult the detergent manufacturer's instructions for the correct dosage to avoid using too much or too little detergent. Please note: using a non-HE detergent may lead to issues like extended wash cycles, poor rinsing, and the potential for mold and mildew buildup. HE detergents are designed to be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing, ensuring the best possible cleaning results for your Whirlpool washer. For further details on adding other laundry products like liquid chlorine bleach and liquid fabric softener, consult the 'ADDING LAUNDRY PRODUCTS' section in your Whirlpool WTW5010LW washer's user manual.
