Adding detergent
It is important to dispense the correct
amount, because. . .
. . . too little detergent results in:
– Laundry not getting properly clean
and with time it may become grey
and hard to the touch.
– Greasy particles clinging to the
laundry.
– Limescale deposits on the heater
elements.
. . . too much detergent results in:
– Excessive foam, which causes a low
level of agitation and poor wash,
rinse and spin results.
– higher water consumption because
an extra rinse is automatically
activated
– A burden to the environment.
