Insufficient Wash Results - Miele PWM 909 SOM Quick Start Manual

Insufficient wash results

Problem
Liquid detergent does not
give the required result.
White residues which look
like powder detergent are
seen on dark textiles after
washing.
Textiles with particularly
greasy soiling are not
properly clean.
Grey, greasy particles
cling to washed laundry.
Cause and remedy
Liquid detergents usually contain no bleaching agents.
They do not remove fruit, coffee or tea stains.
Use a general purpose powder detergent containing a

bleaching agent.
Pour stain remover powder into drawer  in the dis-

penser compartment and liquid detergent into a dis-
penser ball.
Never put stain remover powder and liquid detergent to-

gether in the detergent drawer.
The detergent contained compounds (zeolites) to aid water
softening which are not soluble in water. These have ended
up on the laundry.
Try to brush off the residues with a soft brush once the

laundry is dry.
In future, wash dark textiles using a detergent which

contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents usually contain
no zeolites.
Select a programme with pre-wash. Use liquid detergent

for the pre-wash.
Continue to use universal powder detergent for the main

wash.
The use of heavy-duty detergent is recommended in the
main wash for very heavily soiled workwear. Please seek ad-
vice from the detergent manufacturer.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used. The laundry
was heavily soiled with grease (oils, ointments).
Use more detergent or use liquid detergent with this type

of soiled laundry.
Before washing the next load run a 60 °C programme

with liquid detergent but without a load.
