You've got questions. We've got answers... and lots of them.

Cheer For Darks has a special Colorguard® formula that helps prevent fading and helps keep your clothes looking their best. Cheer For Darks contains chlorine scavengers that neutralize the chlorine in your wash water; these scavengers help prevent fading caused by chlorine. Cheer liquid also contains ingredients that help surround and suspend soils and excess dyes in the water to prevent them from redepositing on fabric surfaces. Once the soils and excess dyes are suspended, they can be removed more easily in the wash.

Choose the one that best fits your lifestyle, but you may want to keep both on hand. Liquid laundry detergents tend to be better at removing oily and greasy stains and are excellent for pretreating stains. Powder detergents tend to work better on mud and clay.

We suggest these steps to achieve the best cleaning results:

1. Sort your clothes before laundering, and wash similar colors together.
2. Pretreat obvious stains.
3. Always follow fabric care labels for laundering instructions.
4. Use the warmest water safe for the garments (be sure to check care tags).
5. The way you fill your machine is also important. We suggest that you:
• Start the water in your washer.
• Add Cheer.
• Then add your clothes.
6. Use the amount of Cheer recommended below. Use more Cheer if you have very hard water, large loads, heavy soils, or a large-capacity washer.
7. Do not overload your washer or dryer.

The easiest way to measure the right amount of Cheer is to use the scoop in the carton of Cheer powder or the measuring cap on Cheer liquid laundry detergent. If you don't have these, we suggest the following:
Powder Cheer: medium load ~3/8 cup; large load ~1/2 cup
Liquid Cheer: medium load ~1/5 cup; large load ~1/4 cup

Yes. If you wish to use chlorine bleach, it should be added to the bleach dispenser in the washer or added five minutes after the wash cycle begins.

Cheer offers outstanding cleaning in any water temperature.

Cheer helps protect your clothes because:

• Cheer cleans in any water temperature, which means you can wash your fabrics in cold water.
• Cheer liquid helps prevent naturally occurring chlorine from reacting with your clothes, a process that makes your clothes look worn and faded.
• Cheer neutralizes the chlorine in tap water to reduce the fading it causes.
• Some dyes bleed in the wash because of their type of dye or the way the dye was applied. While Cheer liquid detergent can't prevent these dyes from bleeding, it can help prevent them from settling back on other garments in the wash load. Following fabric care tag instructions also helps prevent this type of dye transfer. Remember, to help protect your favorite colors, follow fabric care tag instructions and wash with Cheer liquid laundry detergent.

No. Packages are filled by weight, not by volume.

• Liquids need space at the top to help with pouring.
• Powders may settle during shipment, leaving some space at the top of the carton.
