66
Possible cause and solution
Liquid detergents do not usually contain bleaching
agents. Consequently, fruit, coffee, and tea stains
cannot always be removed.
 Use the Miele 2-phase system. The deliberate
addition of UltraPhase 2 during the wash process
removes stains effectively.
 Use powder detergent containing a bleaching
agent.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used. The
laundry was heavily soiled with grease (oils,
ointments).
 Use more detergent or liquid detergent with this
type of soiled laundry.
 Before washing the next load, run the Clean
machine wash program using Miele clean machine
or a universal powder detergent.
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.
 Use the Darks/Denim program to wash the textiles.
