Washing tips

The right dosage

The motto 'more is better' does not apply to
detergents and fabric-care products. They
must be dosed properly to achieve the perfect
wash result. Here are some tips:
– If necessary, use a smaller dosage of de-
tergents and fabric-care products if the
drum is not filled completely. For exam-
ple, for half loads, only use about half the
amount needed for a full drum.
– Always adjust the amount of detergent to
the respective hardness of the water. If
your tap water is soft, you need less deter-
gent. Information about the water hardness
in your area is provided by the waterworks
responsible. The water hardness is also
shown on the invoice from your water sup-
plier.
– Dose detergent according to how dirty
your laundry is. Laundry that is less dirty
requires less detergent.
– Highly concentrated detergent (also known
as compact detergent) in particular re-
quires accurate dosage. Even minor differ-
ences can have significant effects.
The following wash results are a sign of incor-
rect dosage of detergent.
Too much detergent:
– heavy foam formation
– poor washing and rinsing result
– skin irritation caused by leftover detergent
in the clothing
Not enough detergent
– laundry turns grey
– 'grease marks' (grey clumps of grease and
dirt) on laundry
– build-up of limescale deposits in the drum,
heating elements and/or laundry
