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 detergent
are seen on dark
textiles after
washing.
Textiles have
particularly
greasy soiling.
44
Possible cause
Liquid detergents
usually contain no
bleaching agents.
They do not remove
fruit, coffee and tea
stains.
Insufficient amounts
of detergent were
used to break down
the particles of
grease in heavily
soiled laundry.
The detergent
contained
compounds (zeolites)
to aid water softening
which are not soluble
in water. They have
ended up on the
laundry.
– Select a programme with pre-wash. Use a liquid
detergent for the pre-wash and a powder detergent for
the main wash.
The use of heavy-duty detergent is recommended in the
main wash for very heavily soiled work clothing. Consult
detergent producers for advice.
Remedy
– Use a general purpose detergent
containing a bleaching agent.
– Pour stain removers into
compartment j of the dispenser
drawer and liquid detergent into
a dispenser ball.
– Never put stain removers and
liquid detergent together in the
dispenser drawer.
– Use more detergent.
– Before washing the next load run
a 60°C programme with powder
detergent but without a load.
– Try and brush off the residues
with a soft brush once the laundry
is dry.
– Wash dark textiles using a
detergent which contains no
zeolites. Liquid detergents
usually contain no zeolites.
