Unsatisfactory wash results
Problem
Possible cause and solution
Liquid detergent is not
achieving the required re-
sults.
Liquid detergents do not usually contain bleaching agents.
They do not remove fruit, coffee, and tea stains.
Use powder detergent containing a bleaching agent.
Pour stain removers into the
drawer in the dispenser
compartment and liquid detergent into a dispenser ball.
Never put stain removers and liquid detergent together in
the detergent dispenser drawer.
There are gray, oily parti-
cles clinging to washed
laundry.
Insufficient amounts of detergent were used. The laundry
was heavily soiled with grease (oils, ointments).
Use more detergent or use liquid detergent with this type
of soiled laundry.
Before washing the next load, run a 140°F (60°C) pro-
gram with liquid detergent and no load.
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.
In the future, wash dark textiles using a detergent which
contains no zeolites. Liquid detergents do not usually
contain zeolites.
Textiles that were very
greasy are not properly
clean.
Select a program with pre-wash. Use liquid detergent for
the pre-wash.
Use an industrially available powder detergent for the
main wash.
The use of heavy-duty detergent is recommended in the
main wash for very heavily soiled work clothing. Please seek
advice from the detergent and cleaning agent manufacturer.
