Detergent and Conditioners

Which detergent and conditioners?

Only use detergents and conditioners that are suitable for use in wash-
ing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Quantities of detergent and conditioners?

The quantity to be used will depend on:
• degree of soiling of the washing
• degree of hardness of the water supply
• load
If the manufacturer does not indicate the amounts to use for smaller
2
loads, for half-loads use a third less than the amount recommended for
a full load, and for smaller loads and EASY IRON use half the amount
recommended for a full load.
Please follow the detergent and conditioner manufacturers' instruc-
tions for use and dosing recommendations.

Water softening

For medium to high water hardness (hardness class II upwards) a water
softening agent can be used. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
Then always add the appropriate amount of detergent (underdosing)
for hardness class I (soft). Your local Water Authority can advise you on
the hardness of the water in your area.
