Detergent Dosage

  • Detergent should be selected according to fabric type, colour, soil level and washing temperature and should be used according to the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.

  • Too much detergent results in excessive suds which cause poor washing.

  • When you use liquid detergent, follow the guidelines provided by the detergent manufacturer.

  • Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the laundry. For best results, avoid oversudsing.

  • Refer to the label of the clothes, before choosing the detergent and water temperature.

  • Use only suitable detergents for the respective type of clothing:

    • General powdered detergents for all types of fabric

    • Powdered detergents for delicate fabric

    • Liquid detergents for all types of fabric or designated detergents only for wool

  • For better washing performance and whitening, use detergent that contains general powdered bleach.

Caution
  • Using liquid detergent without diluting, or leaving laundry for a long time after pouring diluted liquid detergent into the drum might cause the clothes to be damaged, bleached, discoloured.

Note
  • Do not let the detergent harden. Doing so may lead to blockages, poor rinse performance or odour.

  • Full load: According to manufacturer’s recommendation.
