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.
– Add stain removers into
compartment
j
of the
detergent 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 programme at
60°C or above 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.
– Use the Dark garments /
Denim programme for dark
coloured laundry.
