Laundry aids
Detergents are the most popular cleaning agents for home
laundry.
Using too little detergent results in poor wash quality, while
using too much causes excessive suds and poor rinsing.
Detergents not only remove soil, but abe hold it in suspension

The amount to use depends on wash load size, amount of soil,
water hardness and detergent type.
ALWAYS measure the amount of detergent. The amount
of suds formed is not necessarily an indication of how much to

conditioners in the final rinse, items of laundry feel softer, and
are more easily ironed and making these clinging affect of
synthetics is considerably reduced.
