And in which form?

Not only are there different types of detergent, but they

are also available in different forms. Whether you chose

a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is

your own personal choice.

TRADITIONAL POWDERS

Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do

not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.

TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS

Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of

the detergent drawer marked with the symbol 

, start

the machine immediately upon placing the

detergent in the dispenser drawer.

Alternatively the detergent is measured into the

specially designed dosing device* which should be

placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the

machine drum.

COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS

Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also

known) are available in liquid or powder form, and

generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the

manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the most

economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the

dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent

into the specially designed dosing device* which

should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back

of the machine drum.

*  If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,

please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed

before carrying out a drying programme.

FABRIC CONDITIONERS

These are ideal for improving ‘softness’, and also

reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing

easier. They are available in two types:

For example Lenor liquid fabric 

softener, for use in the 

washing

machine/washer dryer

. The

liquid fabric softener should be

poured into the compartment

marked with the symbol 

.

Follow the manufacturer’s dosage

instructions and never exceed the

MAX level.

Bounce conditioning sheets for use 

in a 

tumble dryer

. We recommend

the conditioning sheets are pinned

(using a safety pin) to an article

of laundry and placed in the 

tumble dryer.

Which detergent?....

To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your

appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in

your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended

for use in automatic machines.

To maintain the appearance of your clothes and

household textiles and to make them last longer you

should use different types of detergent for different

washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.

WHITES

We recommend the Ariel product

range which is biological and

designed to provide excellent

cleaning and stain removal even

at low temperatures.

NON BIOLOGICAL

If you prefer to use a non

biological detergent, which does

not contain enzymes we

recommend Fairy. Fairy provides

good cleaning and stain removal.

COLOUREDS

For coloured items you should use a

detergent which is designed to clean

while maintaining the original colour.

Ariel Color does not contain bleach 

and therefore helps to preserve

colours.

DELICATE ITEMS

When washing delicates such as

woollens, you should use a product

which is specially designed to care for

fine fabrics.

Dreft Automatic is suitable for

woollens and other delicates.

LAUNDRY BLEACH

For additional stain removal you may

wish to use a product such as Ace

Gentle Bleach which is used in addition

to your chosen detergent. Ace is

suitable for all washable fabrics

including silks, woollens and coloureds.
