An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem Possible cause Remedy
Liquid detergent
does not give the
required result.
Liquid detergents
usually contain no
bleaching agents.
They do not remove
fruit, coffee and tea
stains. – Use a general purpose detergent
containing a bleaching agent.
– Pour stain removers into
compartment
j
of the dispenser
drawer and liquid detergent into
a dispenser ball.
– Never put stain removers and
liquid detergent together in the
dispenser drawer.
Grey, greasy
particles cling to
washed laundry. Insufficient amounts
of detergent were
used to break down
the particles of
grease in heavily
soiled laundry. – Use more detergent.
– Before washing the next load, run
a Cottons 95°C programme with
powder detergent but without a
load.
White residues
which look like
powder detergent
are seen on dark
textiles after
washing. The 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.
Textiles have
particularly
greasy soiling. – Select a programme with pre-wash.
The use of heavy-duty detergent is recommended in the
main wash for very heavily soiled work clothing. Consult
detergent producers for advice.
