DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
The choice of detergent depends on:
Type of fabric (cotton, easy care/synthetics, delicate items, wool). Note: Use only
specific detergents for washing wool.
Color
Wash temperature
Degree and type of soiling
Remarks:
If any whitish residue on dark fabrics caused by insoluble compounds used in
modern phosphate-free powder detergents 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 ingredients 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.
