78
Possible cause and remedy
Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching
agents. They do not remove fruit, coffee and tea
stains.
 Use the Miele 2 Phase System. The targeted
addition of UltraPhase 2 during the wash process
removes stains effectively.
 Use a general purpose powder detergent
containing a bleaching agent.
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.
 Wash dark textiles using a detergent which does
not contain zeolites. Liquid detergents usually do
not contain zeolites.
 Use the Dark garments programme.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break
down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.
 Use more detergent or liquid detergent.
 Before washing the next load, run the Clean
machine programme using the Miele IntenseClean
washing machine cleaner or a powder detergent.
