An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem
Possible cause and remedy
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 or liquid detergent.
Before washing the next load, run the
Clean
machine
programme using the Miele IntenseClean
washing machine cleaner or a powder detergent.
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. These
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 does
not contain zeolites. Liquid detergents usually do
not contain zeolites.
Use the
Dark garments/Denim
programme.
