Detergents, washing aids and amounts to use

Choice of detergent

General purpose detergents

– Powder detergents, for a thorough wash, with bleaching agent, particularly suitable for

use in hot wash programs (60°C and over), for heavily soiled and stained laundry.

– Liquid detergents, particularly suitable for grease stains, such as greasy skin marks,

cosmetics and oil.

– These detergents are not suitable for washing stained laundry, as they do not contain

bleach.

– Biological detergents, not all the products available give a really through wash.

Special detergents

– Detergents for coloureds and delicates, without added bleach, also often without any

optical brightening agents, to preserve the colour.

– Detergents for a thorough wash, without added bleach or enzymes, particularly suit-

able for handling woollen fibres.

– Detergents for curtains with optical brightening agents, resistant to light, to prevent

yellowing from sunlight.

– Special detergents for programmed use of chemical substances, depending on fabric

type, degree of soiling and water hardness.

Here basic detergents, softeners, bleaches/stain removers can be added separately.

Additional laundry aids

– Water softener, means less detergent can be used where water hardness is classed as

hard to very hard.

– Prewash substances, for the programmed treatment of stains prior to the main wash.

Using them means the subsequent wash can be at a low temperature or with bleach-free

detergents.

– Fabric softener, prevents static build-up in synthetic fabrics and softens fabrics.

If you own a tumble dryer, clothes are softened even without the use of a fabric softener.

Do not put solvents in the washing machine!

Keep detergents and other laundry products out of children’s reach.

Before pouring in the detergent check that there are no foreign bodies in the detergent

drawer.

Dosage details are usually shown on the detergent packaging. Follow those instruc-

tions.
