depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of
soiling and water hardness. Read the manufacturer's
instructions on the detergent package carefully and
follow the dosage values.
• Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage
quantities recommended on the detergent
package to avoid problems of excessive
foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally,
environmental protection.

soiled clothes.

recommended dosage.
