Detergent

The correct detergent

All detergents produced for automatic
front loading washing machines are
suitable. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions and dosage
recommendations on the packaging.
The right amount to dispense
will depend on the following:
– The soiling level of the laundry.
– The quantity of laundry.
– The water hardness level. Check with
your local water authority if you do
not know the water hardness level in
your area.

Detergent dispensing aids

Use dispensing aids (e.g. balls) if these
are supplied with the detergent,
particularly when using liquid detergent.
Refill packs of detergent
When purchasing detergent, buy refill
packs wherever possible. This helps
reduce the amount of waste packaging.
Fabric softeners and liquid
starch
Fabric softeners
make garments soft to handle and help
prevent static cling when tumble drying.
Fabric shapers
are synthetic starches and give an even
stiffer hold.
Starch
stiffens and gives body to items of
laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed
linen.
