Detergent

The correct detergent

All detergents produced for automatic front loading washing machines are suitable. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and dosage recommendations on the packaging.

The right amount to dispense will depend on the following:

– The soiling level of the laundry.

– The quantity of laundry.

– The water hardness level. Check with your local water authority if you do not know the water hardness level in your area.

Detergent dispensing aids

Use dispensing aids (e.g. balls) if these are supplied with the detergent, particularly when using liquid detergent.

Refill packs of detergent

When purchasing detergent, buy refill packs wherever possible. This helps reduce the amount of waste packaging.

Fabric softeners and liquid starch

Fabric softeners make garments soft to handle and help prevent static cling when tumble drying.

Fabric shapers are synthetic starches and give an even stiffer hold.

Starch stiffens and gives body to items of laundry, e.g. shirts, tablecloths and bed linen.
