Quantity Of Detergent

such as Top Loading, Handwash 

detergent or Soap-Based products in 

your frontload washing machine. This 

can result in excessive suds, longer 

cycle time, low spin speeds, poor 

rinsing and overloading of the motor.

The choice and quantity of detergent will 

depend on ;

type of fabric (delicates, woollens, 

cottons, etc.) ;

degree of soil ;

size of the load ;

wash temperature ; and
hardness of the water used.

the colour of clothes ;

Information on hardness of the water in 

your area can be obtained from the 

relevant water supply company, or from 

your local authority.
You may have to try using the detergent 

quantity as per manufacturers’ 

instructions then compare the wash result 

to the list below and adjust the amount of 

detergent for your future washes 

accordingly.

Water hardness is classified by so-called 

“degrees” of hardness.

quantities not only affects your wash 

performance, but also helps to avoid waste 

and protect the environment. Although

substances which in large quantities can 

upset the delicate balance of nature.
