DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

Choice of the right detergent and additives

The type of detergent depends on:

• type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics,

delicate items, wool).

Note: use only specific detergents for wool.

• colour;

• washing temperature;

• degree and type of soiling.

Notes:

Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by

insoluble detergents components used in modern

phosphate-free powder detergents.

If you notice this problem, shake or brush the

affected items or use a liquid detergent.

Keep detergents and additives in a dry place and

out of reach of children.

Use only detergents and additives specifically

produced for domestic washing machines.

If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches,

make sure they are suitable for washing machine

use. Descaler could contain components that can

attack parts of your washing machine.

Do not use solvents (turpentine, benzine, etc.).

Do not machine wash fabrics that have been

treated with solvents or flammable liquids.
