An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem Possible cause and solution
Liquid detergent does not
give the required result.
Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching agents.
They do not remove fruit, coffee and tea stains.
Use a general purpose powder detergent containing a
bleaching agent.
Pour stain removers into compartment of the dis-
penser drawer and liquid detergent into a dispenser ball.
Never put stain removers and liquid detergent together in
the detergent dispensing drawer.
Grey, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break down
the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.
Use more detergent for heavily soiled laundry or use liq-
uid detergent.
Before washing the next load run a Cottons 203°F /
60°C program with powder detergent but without a load.
White residues which look
like powder detergent are
seen on dark textiles after
washing.
The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid water
softening which are not soluble in water. These have ended
up on the laundry.
Try and brush off the residues with a soft brush once the
laundry is dry.
Wash dark textiles using a detergent which contains no
zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain no zeolites.
Textiles with particularly
greasy soiling are not
completely clean.
Select a program with a Pre-wash. Use liquid detergent
for the pre-wash and a powder detergent for the main
wash.
Use a commercially available powder detergent for the
main wash.
The use of heavy-duty detergent is recommended in the
main wash for very heavily soiled work clothing. Please fol-
low the manufacturer's instructions.
