Scrud
Scrud is the name given to the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when fabric
softener comes into contact with detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault in the
machine. If scrud is allowed to build-up in the machine it can result in stains on your clothes or
an unpleasant smell in your washer.
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend:
Using fabric softener sparingly.
■ ■
When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.
■ ■
Clean the fabric softener dispenser as soon as the cycle is finished (refer page 37).
■ ■
Clean your machine regularly (refer page 37).
■ ■
Cold water washing increases the chance of the build-up occurring.
■ ■
We recommend that a warm wash be used at regular intervals, eg every 5th wash should be warm.
■ ■
Fabric softener of a thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and
■ ■
contribute to a build-up.
