The correct detergent
All modern detergents produced for automatic washing machines are suitable. Use dispensing aids,
e.g. balls, if these are supplied with the detergent. Tablets are suitable for full loads, but note that it
may be impractical to reduce tablets for smaller loads. Some tablets do not dissolve as rapidly as
others, and may not be suitable for programmes with short durations. Do not use biological detergents
on silk as the enzymes may damage the silk! Instructions for use and recommended amounts for a full
load are given on the detergent packaging.
