For rusty/hard water, do you add more White Brite during the rinse cycle as well to keep the rust off of your whites?

I have no experience using the product with the type of water you described.

No, I dont. I just put in the reccomended amount and it works wonders. I also use this to clean my washer.

I don't know about that. I've never added more to the rinse cycle. White Brite has always done a fabulous job just in the regular wash cycle. Hope this helps.

I have never tried that, like other products just follow directions other wise it might ruin clothes

No...pre-soak for 5 minutes before adding laundry detergent. I fill my machine with hot water and start the agitation to make sure it is mixed in the water well. I then add clothes and let them agitate for 5 minutes. I return to dial to the beginning of the wash cycle, add laundry detergent and softener and wash as usual. That first 5 minutes is what pulls out those stains; the rest of the wash is to clean and soften the articles of clothing.

Don't really know. We soak our sons baseball pants in it for at least an hour (or overnight) and they always come it fine. We have hard water.

Are we talking about inside a pipe or water heater? If properly installed, it would keep rust from adhering to the surface and in suspension. If the source of the rust is in a galvanized or iron pipe system, I would recommend changing out to copper or pvc.

I don't have any rust because I always use distilled water and remove the water container as soon as I am through. Never leave water in the machine over night. If I had rust I would fill the cup with CLR rust remover that you can buy at Home Depot and let it soak. Don't turn the machine on while doing this. then rinse and wipe dry. This should take rust off.

This has not been an issue for me, sorry. But you might try a rinse aid in the cycle as well as regular soap; this makes a big difference in how clean the dishes are at the end of the cycle.

No but it recommends distilled to reduce mineral build up. If you don't use distilled water it recommends to rinse out with vinegar on a monthly basis. When I first got the cleaner I used tap water and it still worked great. I recently been using distilled so I don't have to worry about soaking the tank in vinegar.

I have never added anything to the water. I have, however, sprayed cleaning solution on some tough spots.

I have hard water and I wash these by hand. I chose to do that because of what the dishwasher has done to other utensils. No problems with any white build up on mine and I use them daily.

To prevent any mineral build-up, I use distilled water. Distilled water is cheap..

We use distilled water. I'm not sure you have to, but it seems as though it's always better for the iron. We get plenty of steam and use rather a small amount of water, now that I think of it. We're very happy with the iron.

I use distilled water in my irons. I have hard water and have to use a water softener, so it is just less hassle to use the distilled water.

Distilled water is recommended so that is what I have always used. Tap water often has deposits that can clog up an iron with sediment. Hope this is helpful.

I wouldn't add anything. mine worked fine, after I added some cleaner to the water, it stopped working.

I use the product regularly to keep whites bright and to brighten whites that are dull. It does a great job. I have never specifically tried it on rust stains. On difficult stains I will pre-treat with bleach and wait until stain disappears and then rinse, and neutralize bleached area with vinegar before washing with White Brite. This procedure works for me.

The Care and Use Instructions suggest the possibility of rust if water is left inside but provides a fix of ... In case a small amount of rust does occur, put 2 tablespoons of baking soda and a little lemon juice, add water and bring to a boil.

We use about 1 tsp per load and we have no more white residue. We have very hard water and that amount was not only enough to combat the hard water, but also remove years of buildup from our dishes. You really don't need more than a small amount.

Nothing happens. Soaps and detergents work better in softer water. I add a couple of scoops of baking soda to the wash water, it also softens the water.

I reviewed the other answers, they are spot on, my only other advice is to make sure your water is very cold and add an additive to take out hard water minerals if you aren't using filtered water.
