And In Which Form - AEG ÖKO-LAVAMAT 72600 update Operating Instructions Manual

Preparing the washing cycle
For coloured clothes and household textiles, you should use COLOUR
DETERGENTS, like Ariel Color, which are designed to maintain the
original colour of these items, as well as providing excellent cleaning
performance. These are all biological detergents. They are particularly
suitable for matching and co-ordinated sets of lingerie, bedding or
towels.
For washing wool and silk, COLOUR DETERGENTS ARE NOT SUITABLE.
For wool items, you should use a GENTLE/FINE WASH DETERGENT, such
as Dreft, which has been tested and approved by the International Wool
Secretariat and carries the "Woolmark". A similar detergent should also
be used for silk.
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and
to make them last longer, you should use different types of detergent
for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates. Although
this may require buying two or three different products, you do not
need to use any more powder, or liquid, than if you were buying just
one.

And in which form

Not only are these different types of detergent, but they are also
available in different forms
Powders or Liquids
Powders and their liquid equivalent provide similar cleaning properties,
although liquids dissolve faster when hand washing and at lower
temperature washes.
Biological or Non-Biological
All Biological detergents contain enzymes. Different types of enzymes
assist with the removal of protein, starch and fat-based stains, such as
blood, egg, chocolate and gravy. However, some people prefer non-
biological detergents which do not contain enzymes.
Low Suds
In a front loading automatic washing machine, you should only use a
low suds detergent. The majority of detergents are now low suds
products.
„Big Box" or Compact
Compared to their traditional "Big Box" equivalents, compacts (or
concentrates as they are also known) have an improved performance
and environmental profile, as well as requiring a smaller dosage level.
