An unsatisfactory wash result

Problem

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.
60
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.
Remedy
– Use a general purpose
detergent containing a
bleaching agent.
– Pour stain removers into
compartment j and liquid
detergent into a dispenser
ball (remember to remove
the dispensing ball before
drying!).
– Never put stain removers
and liquid detergent together
in the dispenser drawer.
– Use more detergent.
– Before washing the next load
run a Cottons 95°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.
– Use the Dark garments
programme for dark
coloured laundry.
