Select proper detergent
CAUTION:
Always consider the dosage and storage recommen-
dations on the sales packaging.
WARNING:
Keep detergent and additives out of reach for chil-

•
Use only “slightly foaming” detergent for washing
machines according to type of fabric (cotton, syn-
thetics, lined or woolen products), color, washing
temperature and degree of soiling. Otherwise
foaming can cause overflowing.
•
Bleach is alkaline and can damage your clothing,
preferably does not use bleach.
•
Detergents often leave residue in the clothes,
which can cause bad odor if not rinsed properly.
•
Detergent cannot easily get dissolved completely
if there is too much detergent or water tempera-
ture is rather low. It can remain in clothes, pipes
and washing machines to pollute the clothes.
•
Washing shall follow the weight of clothes, dirty
degrees, local water hardness as well as the rec-
ommendations from the detergent manufacturers.
Consult the water company if you are not clear of
water hardness.

•
When washing heavily soiled whites, we recom-
mend using cotton programs of 60°C or above
and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that
contains bleaching agents that at medium/high
temperatures provide excellent results.
•
For washes between 40°C and 60°C, the type of
detergent used needs to be appropriate for the ty-
pe of fabric and level of soiling. Normal powders
are suitable for „white“ or color fast fabrics with
high soiling, while liquid detergents or „color pro-
tecting“ powders are suitable for colored fabrics
with light levels of soiling.
•
For washing at temperatures below 40°C we
recommend the use of liquid detergents or deter-
gents specifically labeled as suitable for low tem-
perature washing.
