Problem
There is an excessive
build-up of foam.
White residues which
look like powder
detergent are seen on
dark textiles after
washing.
Grey, greasy particles
cling to washed
laundry.
Possible cause
Too much detergent
was used.
The detergent
contained compounds
(zeolites) to aid water
softening where are not
soluble in water. They
have ended up on the
textiles.
Insufficient amounts of
detergent have been
used to break down the
particles of grease in
heavily soiled laundry.
Problem solving guide
Remedy
– Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on dosage
given on the packaging.
– Take the water hardness
level into account.
– Use less detergent for
lightly soiled or small loads.
– Try and brush out the
residues after drying using
a soft brush.
– Wash dark textiles using a
detergent which contains
no zeolites. Liquid
detergents usually contain
no zeolites.
– Use more detergent.
– Before washing the next
load run a COTTONS 95°C
programme with powder
detergent but without a
load.
