Detergents and additives
Always use high efficiency, low foam detergent for a front load machine.
The choice of detergent depends on:
•
type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics, delicate items, wool).
Note: Use only specific detergents for washing wool.
•
colour
•
the wash temperature
•
degree and type of soiling
Remarks:
Any whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble compounds used
in modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or brush out
the fabric or use liquid detergents. Use only detergents and additives specifically
produced for domestic washing machines. When using descaling agents, dyes or
bleaches for the pre-wash, make sure that they are suitable for use in domestic
washing machines. Descalers could contain products which could damage your
washing machine. Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzine). Do not wash
fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.
Dosage
Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on:
•
degree and type of soiling
•
size of wash
follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions for a full load;
half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load;
minimum load (about 1 kg): 1/2 the amount used for a full load;
•
water hardness in your area (ask for information from your water company). Soft water
requires less detergent than hard water.
