Unsatisfactory wash results

Problem
Liquid detergent is not
achieving the required re-
sults.
There are gray, oily parti-
cles clinging to washed
laundry.
White residues which look
like powder detergent are
seen on dark textiles after
washing.
Textiles that were very
greasy are not properly
clean.
Possible cause and solution
Liquid detergents do not usually contain bleaching agents.
They do not remove fruit, coffee, and tea stains.
Use powder detergent containing a bleaching agent.

Pour stain removers into the  drawer in the dispenser

compartment and liquid detergent into a dispenser ball.
Never put stain removers and liquid detergent together in

the detergent dispenser drawer.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used. The laundry
was heavily soiled with grease (oils, ointments).
Use more detergent or use liquid detergent with this type

of soiled laundry.
Before washing the next load, run a 140°F (60°C) pro-

gram with liquid detergent and no load.
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.
In the future, wash dark textiles using a detergent which

contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents do not usually
contain zeolites.
Select a program with pre-wash. Use liquid detergent for

the pre-wash.
Use an industrially 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 seek
advice from the detergent and cleaning agent manufacturer.
