An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem
Liquid detergent does
not give the required
result.
Grey, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry.
White residues which
look like powder deter-
gent are seen on dark
textiles after washing.
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 addi-
tion of UltraPhase 2 during the wash process re-
moves stains effectively.
Use a general purpose powder detergent contain-
ing a bleaching agent.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used to break
down the particles of grease in heavily soiled laundry.
Use more detergent.
Before washing the next load run a Cottons 60°C
programme with powder detergent but without a
load.
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 con-
tains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain
no zeolites.
Use the Dark garments/Denim programme for dark
coloured laundry.
