• Use only detergents and other treatments specially made for
washing machines. First, follow these generic rules:
– powder detergents (also tablets and single-dose detergents)
for all types of fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer powder
detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry
sanitization,
– liquid detergents (also single-dose detergents) , preferably for
low temperature wash programmes (60 °C max) for all types
of fabric, or special ones for woollens only.
• The choice and quantity of detergent will depend on: type of
fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc), the colour of clothes,
size of the load, degree of soiling, wash temperature and
hardness of the water used.
• Follow the instructions that you find on packaging of the
detergents or other treatments without exceeding the indicated
maximum level (
).
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– there is large amounts of foam during washing.
Insufficient detergent may cause:
• unsatisfactory washing results,
• the wash load to turn grey,
• greasy clothes,
• mould in the appliance.
Excessive detergent may cause:
• sudsing,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing,
• a greater impact for the environment.
