White residues which
look like powder
detergent are seen on
dark textiles after
washing.
The powder detergent
contained compounds
(zeolites) to aid water
softening which are not
soluble in water. They
have ended up on the
laundry.
– 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
for
dark coloured laundry.
