Scrud
Scrud is the name given to the waxy build-up that can occur within a washer when the
fabric softener comes into contact with detergent. This can happen when fabric softener
is not added to the machine correctly. 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
and/or an unpleasant smell in your washer.
If you wish to use fabric softener we recommend:
Using fabric softener sparingly.
z
When filling the dispenser, do not splash or overfill.
z
Clean the dispenser as soon as the cycle has finished.
z
Clean your machine regularly (refer to the 'Caring for your washer' section).
z
Cold water washing increases the chance of a build-up of scrud occurring. We
z
recommend a 'Warm' or 'Hot' wash at regular intervals, eg approximately every 5th wash.
Fabric softener of a thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue in the dispenser and
z
contribute to a build-up.
