Problem Possible cause Remedy
Liquid detergent
does not give the
required result.
Liquid detergents do not
contain bleaching
agents. They do not re-
move fruit, coffee and tea
stains
–
Use a general purpose
washing machine powder
containing a bleaching
agent.
– Pour stain removers into
compartment
j
of the dis-
penser drawer and liquid
detergent into a dispenser
ball.
– Never put stain removers
and liquid detergent to-
gether in the dispenser
drawer.
Grey, greasy parti-
cles cling to
washed laundry. Insufficient amounts of
detergent were used to
break down the particles
of grease in heavily
soiled laundry. – Add more detergent.
– Before washing the next
load run a COTTONS 95°C
programme with powder de-
tergent but without a load.
(See also "Extra cleaning" in
Cleaning and Care).
There are white
residues which
look like powder
detergent on dark
coloured laundry. The detergent contained
compounds (zeolites) to
aid water softening which
are not soluble in water.
These have ended up on
the laundry. – Try and brush off the resi-
dues with a soft brush once
the laundry is dry.
– Use a liquid detergent to
wash dark coloured textiles.
Liquid detergents usually
contain no zeolites.
