An unsatisfactory wash result

washed laundry.

are seen on dark
textiles after
washing.
42
Possible cause
Liquid detergents do not
contain bleaching
agents. They do not
remove fruit, coffee and
tea stains.
Insufficient amounts of
detergent were used.
The laundry was heavily
soiled with grease.
The detergent contained
compounds (zeolites) to
aid water softening
which are not soluble in
water. These have stuck
to fabrics.
Remedy
– Use a general purpose
detergent containing a
bleaching agent.
– Add stain remover to the
compartment j.
– Never put stain removers
and liquid detergent together
in the dispenser drawer.
– Use more detergent.
– Before washing the next
load, run a Cottons 60°C
programme with liquid
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.
