LG HE (high-efficiency) washers are designed to use less water and detergent than traditional washers, making them more efficient and eco-friendly. However, this can also mean that stains and odors may not be removed as effectively. OxiClean is a powerful stain remover that can help boost the cleaning power of your LG HE washer.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to add OxiClean to your LG HE washer:
1. Choose the Right OxiClean Product: LG HE washers require a specific type of OxiClean designed for high-efficiency washers. Look for products labeled “OxiClean HE” or “OxiClean for High-Efficiency Washers.”
2. Load Your Washer: Load your LG HE washer with the dirty laundry.
3. Add Detergent: Add your regular laundry detergent to the detergent dispenser.
4. Add OxiClean: Add the recommended amount of OxiClean HE to the bleach dispenser. Do not add OxiClean directly to the clothes, as it can damage fabrics.
5. Select Wash Cycle: Select the appropriate wash cycle for your laundry. For heavily soiled or stained items, choose a cycle with a longer wash time or higher water temperature.
6. Start the Washer: Start the wash cycle as usual. OxiClean will dissolve in the water and begin working to remove stains and odors.

Tips for Using OxiClean in LG HE Washers
- Follow the Instructions Carefully: Always follow the instructions on the OxiClean HE package for the recommended amount to use based on the size of your load.
- Avoid Overloading: Overloading your washer can prevent OxiClean from circulating properly and reduce its effectiveness.
